The Timor Sea is a relatively shallow sea bounded to the north by the island of Timor (Asian continent), to the east by the Arafura Sea, and to the south by Australia.

The sea contains a number of reefs, uninhabited islands and significant hydrocarbon reserves. International disputes emerged after the reserves were discovered resulting in the signing of the Timor Sea Treaty.

The Timor Sea was hit by the worst oil spill for 25 years in 2009.
