South Coast Highway is a Western Australia highway. It is a part of the Highway 1 network.

With a length of convert|605|km|lk=on , it runs from Esperance to Walpole roughly in parallel to the Western Australia's south coast. Even then the journey from Esperance to Albany is pretty much inland.

However, some 40 kilometres from Ravensthorpe, lies the Fitzgerald River National Park with beaches, coastal and mountain walkingtrails and wildflowers. There are 3 more national parks with abundant wildlife along the journey to Walpole. Albany is a former whaling town and is rich in history.

Beyond Walpole, Highway 1 continues as South Western Highway to Perth.
