The Barossa Trail is a 40 kilometres (25 mi) cycling and walking path through the Barossa Valley in South Australia, opened in May 2014. Much of the Barossa Trail follows the Barossa Valley railway line, but is not a rail trail as part of the railway was still operating at the time it was built. As it is not on the railway formation, it has more undulations than a true rail trail would have. The part near Rowland Flat is away from both the railway and main road. It has much sharper corners than would be expected on a rail trail.

Until 2019 the 27km between Gawler and Tanunda was named the Jack Bobridge Track, after a cyclist who grew up in the area. Following Bobridge's imprisonment that year for dealing recreational drugs, the Barossa Council extended the name of the rest of the route to that section.
