Stott Highway is a 144-kilometre-long (89 mi)^[1] state-controlled highway in South Australia, linking Angaston in the Barossa Valley, through Sedan and Swan Reach, to Pyap in the Riverland region.^[4] It was named after Tom Stott, a member of the South Australian state parliament.

On the eastern bank, the highway continues east until eventually terminating at the intersection with Kingston Road in Pyap, just west of Loxton.
