The Gympie Arterial Road is a freeway in the northern suburbs of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. The road starts in Carseldine at Gympie Road and terminates at the Gateway Motorway where it becomes the Bruce Highway. It is three lanes in each direction from Carseldine to the Strathpine Road intersection, and two lanes to the Gateway Motorway.

In 2000, a lane duplication was completed and an exit lane was closed at the Strathpine Road off-ramp, with 2 new lanes opened along with traffic lights in its place.
