Captain Cook Highway is a short Queensland highway that starts in Cairns and ends in Mossman, then continues via the Mossman-Daintree Road, more than 150km away to Daintree.

Captain Cook Highway is used by many tourists to travel to Port Douglas north of Cairns. Apart from being a vital link between two tourist locations, Captain Cook Highway is a scenic highway that winds alongside the coast of the tropical seaside rainforest heading towards Port Douglas and Daintree National Park.
