The Bruxner Highway is a 420-kilometre (260 mi)state highway located in New South Wales, Australia. The highway forms an east-west link from the Northern Rivers coast, across the Northern Tablelands in northern New South Wales, close to the border with Queensland.
The highway was named on 2 November 1959 in honour of Sir Michael Bruxner, member for Northern Tablelands and Tenterfield from 1920 to 1962, leader of the New South Wales Country Party for almost all that period and Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport from 1932 to 1941.
The eastern terminus of the Bruxner Highway is at the junction with the Pacific Highway at Ballina and links Lismore, Casino, Mummulgum, Drake, Tenterfield, Bonshaw and Boggabilla where its western terminus is at a junction with the Newell Highway.
