The Riddoch Highway connects Keith, Naracoorte, Mount Gambier and Port MacDonnell in southeastern South Australia.

The Riddoch Highway in south-eastern South Australia branches from the Dukes Highway at Keith and travels south through Padthaway, Naracoorte, Penola, Nangwarry, Tarpeena, and Mount Gambier to Port MacDonnell and nearby Cape Northumberland.

It passes through grazing and cereal-growing land, horticultural and vineyards (including Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra wine regions), and plantation timber, predominantly pinus radiata.

The Royal Automobile Association (RAA) has rated the highway at 5/10.^[1]

The Riddoch Highway is named after John Riddoch, the original landholder and vigneron in Coonawarra.
