The Challenger mine is a gold mine in the Far North of South Australia, 165 km west of the Stuart Highway and 740 km north-west of Adelaide. It was operated by Dominion, Kingsgate and then WPG Resources. The mine is now in care and maintenance. The deposit was named by David Edgecombe, the geologist who discovered it, after his dog.
