The **Esk Highway** (route number **A4**) is a highway in [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania), Australia. It connects the [Midland Highway](/source/Midland_Highway_(Tasmania)), located down the [centre of the state](/source/Midlands%2C_Tasmania), with the [Tasman Highway](/source/Tasman_Highway), which is located on the east coast of the state.

Its western end joins the Midland Highway at [Conara Junction](/source/Conara%2C_Tasmania), just north of [Campbell Town](/source/Campbell_Town%2C_Tasmania). Its eastern end passes through [St Marys](/source/St_Marys%2C_Tasmania) 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](/source/Chain_of_Lagoons%2C_Tasmania) – although this is also marked as route A4, it is named Elephant Pass Road and is not part of the Esk Highway.
