Create NSW is a government agency of the Government of New South Wales, that falls within the Creative Industries, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport cluster. The agency was created on 1 April 2017 from an amalgamation of Arts NSW (ANSW) and Screen NSW. Create NSW is responsible for administering government policies that support the arts, artists and the various cultural bodies within the state of New South Wales in Australia, and for the provision of funding. It also provides secretarial and administrative support to the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee, a high-level committee which works with the government to help shape policy and promote the arts throughout the state.

As of June 2025, Kerri Glasscock was appointed Executive Director of Create NSW. The agency advises the Minister for the Arts. Ultimately, the Minister is responsible to the Parliament of New South Wales.
