Commonwealth Oil Refineries (COR) was an Australian oil company Commonwealth Oil Refineries that operated bewtween 1920 and 1952 as a joint venture of the Australian government and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.

Commonwealth Oil Refineries was established in 1920 at the initiative of Prime Minister Billy Hughes.[1] In 1924 it opened Australia's first oil refinery at Laverton, Victoria. In 1952, the Menzies government sold it to the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Between 1952 and 1959, BP branded its standard grade petrol as COR, but then dropped the name.[2][3]
