M Special Unit was an Australian intelligence gathering organisation of World War II. M Special Unit was formed in 1943 as part of the Services Reconnaissance Department, a joint Australian, New Zealand and British military intelligence reconnaissance unit, which saw action against the Empire of Japan during World War II. Unlike its counterpart, Z Special Unit, M Special Unit's role was to gather intelligence by sending small teams behind enemy lines via infiltration by sea, air or land. M Special Unit was disbanded following the end of the war.
