The Channel Highway is a highway in the south of the Australian state of Tasmania. It leads from Hobart along the D' Entrecasteaux Channel to the mouth of the Huon River and then up the river as far as Huonville.

The road begins in Taroona, a southern suburb of Hobart on the estuary of the Derwent River as a continuation of Sandy Bay Road. It follows the coast to Kingston, where it is connected to the Southern Outlet (A6) and the Huon Highway ( A6), the direct connection to Huonville. About Hunting Field, Margate, Electrona, Snug, Kettering, Woodbridge, Birch Bay, Flowerpot, Middleton and Gordon the Channel Highway pulls along the D' Entrecasteaux Channel to the south and reaches in Verona Sands, the southern tip of the formed by the estuary of the Huon River and the Channel Peninsula.
