The Federal ICAC Now, also known simply as FIN, was a single-issue political party in Australia formed in June 2020. Its creation was driven by the claimed need for an independent federal anti-corruption watchdog, similar to New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern Territory.

Abbreviated to FIN, the party's logo includes the party name, abbreviation and the dorsal fin of a shark.

The party was deregistered on 27 April 2023.^[4]
