The Gregory Highway is a state highway in Queensland that serves the major coal-mining centres of Central Queensland. The highway was named after Augustus Gregory, an early explorer.

It runs southward from outside Georgetown off the Gulf Developmental Road, via Lynd Junction ("The Lynd") and Charters Towers, to Springsure, over 900 kilometres away.

North of Clermont it is known as the Gregory Developmental Road or the Great Inland Road and it is a very lonely road composed of one-laned bitumen used mainly by road trains, travelling through very monotonous scrub-land.
