The Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (RASWA) is an agricultural society based in Perth, Western Australia. It was founded in 1831, two years after the establishment of the Swan River Colony.

An organisation called the Western Australian Agricultural Society was founded in 1831, just two years after the establishment of the Swan River Colony. In May of that year, James Stirling, the lieutenant-governor, granted the society land in Perth, Fremantle, and Guildford. The land grant was in response to a petition signed by four prominent settlers – John Septimus Roe, Walter Boyd Andrews, William Henry Mackie, and William Lane Milligan.^[1]
