The Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company was an Australian insurance and financial services company. It was established in 1878,[1] and lasted until 2001, when it became part of ING Australia.[2] The insurance portion of the business was later sold to ANZ and branded as OnePath in 2010.[3][4]

Mercantile Mutual sponsored the Australian domestic limited-overs cricket tournament from 1992 to 2001, when it was called the "Mercantile Mutual Cup".
