The Mawson Trail is a long-distance cycling trail in South Australia starting just east of Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills and extending almost {{convert|900|km}} to Blinman in the Flinders Ranges.^[1] It is suitable for mountain bikes.^[2]

The Mawson Trail traverses remote areas of the Mount Lofty and Flinders Ranges, mostly away from bitumen roads, and often off-road on tracks and unmade road or forest reserves. It also passes through a number of country towns. It starts at the upstream end of the Torrens Linear Park on Gorge Road, leading into the Adelaide Hills.

BikeSA hosts a guided two-week tour of the entire length every second year.^[3]

The trail is named after explorer Douglas Mawson.
