Bridgewater is a town in the Adelaide Hills, southeast of Adelaide in South Australia.
It is the former end of the Adelaide-Bridgewater railway line; this route was closed in 1987. The railway was converted to standard gauge in 1995 and continues to be the main line from Adelaide to Melbourne, but no trains stop at the now demolished Bridgewater railway station.
Cox creek runs through Bridgewater, and the town was originally settled as Cox Creek. It was renamed Bridgewater when the flour mill was built by John Dunn, who named it after Bridgwater in Somerset, England.
