Sherlock is a settlement in South Australia. It is on the Pinnaroo railway line and Mallee Highway.
The town was surveyed in May 1907. The railway station opened in January 1913, with the stationmaster also responsible for the Moorlands station 9 miles (14 km) west. The Sherlock Baptist Church opened in 1911, and was the first stone building erected along the Pinnaroo railway line.
