"The Overlanders" is a 1946 Australian film about drovers droving a large herd of cattle 1600 miles overland from the Northern Territory outback of Australia to pastures north of Brisbane, Queensland during World War II.

The film was one of several produced in Australia by Ealing Studios, and featured among the cast Chips Rafferty.

The film score was written by the English composer John Ireland. It was his only film score. An orchestral suite was extracted from the score by the conductor Sir Charles Mackerras after Ireland's death.
