A part of the Frankish kingdom during the Merovingian dynasty. A term used to distinguish it from Neustria in the west and Burgundy in the southeast. It included what is now northeastern France and western and central Germany, and its mayor became the ancestor of the later Carolingian dynasty. At the beginning of the 7th century, it was united with other parts to form a unified kingdom, but in 632 Dagobert I appointed his son Sigebert III as king of Austrasia, and after that, the kingdom's capital was set at Metz and it had its own mayor. When the Carolingian mayor of Austrasia, Pepin the Elder, defeated Neustria in 687, Austrasia's hegemony over the other parts was established, and his illegitimate son Charles Martel became mayor of Austrasia, Neustria, and Burgundy. His son Pepin the Younger deposed the last Merovingian king and became king of all the Franks, founding the Carolingian dynasty.

メロビング朝時代のフランク王国の一分国。西のネウストリア,南東部のブルグンドと区別するため用いられた用語。現在のフランス北東部およびドイツ西部,中部の地方を含み,その宮宰は,のちのカロリング朝の祖となった。7世紀初め頃に一時他の分国を糾合して統一王国が形成されたが,632年ダゴベルト1世が息子ジゲベルト3世をアウストラシアの分国王に封じて以来,国都をメッツに定め,固有の宮宰をもつにいたった。カロリング家のアウストラシア宮宰ピピン (中ピピン) がネウストリアを 687年に破ったことから,他の分国に対するアウストラシアの覇権が確立し,ピピンの庶子カルル・マルテルはアウストラシア,ネウストリア,ブルグンドの宮宰となった。その子ピピン (小ピピン) はメロビング朝最後の王を廃して,みずから全フランクの王となり,カロリング朝を創始した。
