Portrush Road is a major bypass route in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It runs from south to north through the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, at the foot of the Adelaide Hills. The southern end is at the foot of the South Eastern Freeway (the major route from Melbourne and the south east of South Australia). Portrush Road extends north from there crossing the four major arterial routes into the city, Greenhill Road, Kensington Road, The Parade and Magill Road. At Payneham Road it changes to Lower Portrush Road, then Ascot Avenue before intersecting with North East Road, and finally Hampstead Road before intersecting with Grand Junction Road.

Portrush Road, Hampstead Road and Grand Junction Road constitute the major heavy road transport route through suburban Adelaide from Port Adelaide and anywhere north of Adelaide to Victoria and the South East of South Australia.
