The Global CCS Institute (occasionally referred to as the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute or GCCSI) is an independent, nonprofit organisation established by the Australian government in 2009 to accelerate global deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, in particular commercial scale CCS projects.

Its emphasis is on collaboration and knowledge sharing to facilitate development and implementation of CCS.
