The Wool Road was a historic road in New South Wales, Australia, that ran from Nerriga to what is now called Vincentia on Jervis Bay. It was constructed privately in 1841, using convict labour.

The road led to the foundation of the privately-owned port town of South Huskisson and the adjacent 'government townshIp' of Huskisson.
