Selwyn Snowfields (coord|35|53|S|148|27|E|region:AU-NSW_type:city) is a small ski resort in the northern part of the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, in the Snowy River Shire and Kosciuszko National Park. Selwyn is located near the town of Adaminaby and is close to Cabramurra, which is the highest town in Australia.

The resorts base elevation is 1492 m and the highest point is 1614 m Above Mean Sea Level. This lower altitude means it has trouble maintaining a good snow cover during the very early and the latest parts of the season (June and september). The resort has snowmaking to combat this problem, a state of the art Lenko System, with a virtually inexhaustible supply of water from nearby Three Mile Dam. The terrain at Selwyn caters mostly to families and first timers, however two black runs at the back of the resort attract more than their fair share of advanced skiers and boarders, and in 2007 some terrain park features were added to the blue run known as Township.
