The Castlereagh Highway is a state highway in New South Wales, Australia, also extending some kilometres into Queensland. It has been given the route number 55. The highway was recently extended past Gilgandra to include state route 86. As such the Castlereagh Highway starts just outside of Lithgow at a junction with the Great Western Highway and runs in a north-westerly direction past Mudgee and Gulgong, joins with the Golden Highway for approximately 8 kilometres east of Dunedoo, then branches off in Dunedoo, continuing past Gilgandra until it reaches the Queensland border at Hebel. From there it continues to the town of St George where it terminates with the Carnarvon Highway.

The Bathurst-Ilford Road branches off in Ilford, while the Bylong Valley Way branches off the Castlereagh Highway 2km north of Ilford.
