The Silver City Highway is a highway in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It runs from south to north close to the western border of New South Wales with South Australia. It links the towns of Wentworth, located at the confluence of the Murray River and the Darling River, to the mining city of Broken Hill, and the village of Tibooburra in the remotest, north west corner of New South Wales.

North of Broken Hill the highway has a partially unsealed (gravel) surface.

The highway crosses the New South Wales/Victoria border at the Murray River and continues south through Victoria as the Calder Highway.
