The Carpentaria Highway is a 380-kilometre-long (240 mi) highway, which runs from near Daly Waters to Borroloola in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is a sealed road and is part of National Highway 1. The Highway takes its name from the Gulf of Carpentaria, which it links with the Stuart Highway.

Funding for maintenance is provided by the Northern Territory government.
