Goodwood Road is a major north–south arterial road, approximately 10 kilometres long, in Adelaide, South Australia. It runs between the Adelaide city centre and the southern suburbs of Adelaide–Pasadena and Panorama, and has a speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph).

Starting at the intersection of Anzac Highway, West Terrace and South Terrace in the south-western corner of the Adelaide city centre, the road continues south, through the southern Adelaide Parklands, as part of the A21, the city ring route. At Greenhill Road the A21 turns east. Goodwood Road continues south through the suburb of Wayville, passing the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds. The next set of traffic lights at Leader street marks the boundary with the suburb of Goodwood, and the location of the Goodwood Park Hotel. The road then crosses the Glenelg Tramline and, although it retains 4 lanes, narrows as it passes the Goodwood library, civic centre and shopping precinct which also contains a theatre, a cinema, numerous restaurants, and the Goodwood Primary school. Victoria Street marks the boundary with the suburb of Millswood. The road continues through the so-called "Goodwood" Subway, (adjacent to the Millswood Railway Station). This is a deep road underpass which has double-lane traffic in both directions, and an elevated pedestrian walkway along the western wall. It was originally built for the Goodwood Road tram traffic to pass safely under the Belair Railway Line and the main Adelaide-Melbourne Railway Line. Although the trams stopped travelling along Goodwood Road, and the tracks were removed, many decades ago, the subway continues to provide grade-separation between a very busy arterial road and a railway line with long, slow freight trains.
