Acremaster was an Australian articulated tractor manufacturer based in Merredin, Western Australia, Australia. Founded by Laurie Phillips in 1975 as Phillips-Merredin, they began building the large 4WD tractors. The tractors have been sold as Phillips tractors as well.

In 1984, the company was sold to Don Zanetic. From 1984-1985, Acremaster built tractors for International Harvester for sale in Australia, mainly. The company was sold again in 1985, this time to Australian-equipment manufacturer Horwood Bagshaw.

After Laurie Phillips sold, or lost control of, Acremaster, he went on to build the Phoenix articulated tractor in Australia.
