The Black Ice World Tour is a current concert tour by Australian rock band AC/DC. The trek is in support of the group's 15th studio album, Black Ice, which was released in October 2008.

The tour, their first since the Stiff Upper Lip Tour in 2000/2001, was announced in September 2008. Beginning with a North American leg, the trek kicked off in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in October and continued until late December. The initial dates were met with unprecedented demand, with 18 record sell-outs across the continent. A second leg of North America began in January 2009, ultimately culminating later in the month in Nashville, Tennessee.

In February 2009, the group began their first round of European dates, beginning in Oslo, Norway and culminating in Birmingham, U.K. in April. One of two dates scheduled in Antwerp, Belgium was cancelled after lead singer Brian Johnson fell ill.

In May 2009, a second leg of Europe commenced, taking place in outdoor stadiums and venues. It also reached countries that were missed during the first leg, such as Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Portugal and Serbia. The trek began in Leipzig, Germany and ended the following month in Glasgow, U.K.

In July 2009, the band returned to North America, playing a mixture of outdoor and indoor venues. The tour reached many Canadian markets that had been missed on the previous two legs. A fourth leg, which included dates in Mexico and Puerto Rico, followed in October and November. The initial six dates on the leg were postponed after Johnson underwent a medical procedure which subsequently required rest. Five of these shows were ultimately rescheduled for spring 2010; one date to be held in Phoenix, Arizona was cancelled outright due to a "scheduling conflict".

In November 2009, the band will head to South America, with shows in Brazil and Argentina planned. The act added two additional concerts in Buenos Aires at the 65,000-capacity River Plate Stadium due to high demand. In the same month, it was reported that a group of fans had issued a complaint to the band, criticising the setlist.

In January 2010, the group will begin a round of dates in New Zealand, subsequently reaching their native Australia in February. The Australian shows were the fastest selling concerts in the history of the country, with extra dates added in most markets due to demand. Following the Australian tour, which ends in Perth, Western Australia in early March, the group will play three dates in Japan.

The tour won the "Major Tour of the Year" award at the 2009 Pollstar Concert Industry Awards. The tour was also nominated in the "Top Tour" and "Top Draw" categories at the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards.
