The '''Esk Highway''' (route number '''A4''') is a highway in [[Tasmania]], Australia. It connects the [[Midland Highway (Tasmania)|Midland Highway]], located down the [[midlands, Tasmania|centre of the state]], with the [[Tasman Highway]], which is located on the east coast of the state.
Its western end joins the Midland Highway at [[Conara, Tasmania|Conara Junction]], just north of [[Campbell Town, Tasmania|Campbell Town]]. Its eastern end passes through [[St Marys, Tasmania|St Marys]] and then deviates to a north-east direction, where it connections to the Tasman Highway. Another road, which follows a path south-east of St Marys, joins another part of the Tasman Highway at [[Chain of Lagoons, Tasmania|Chain of Lagoons]] – although this is also marked as route A4, it is named Elephant Pass Road and is not part of the Esk Highway.
