Derby Highway is a highway linking Great Northern Highway in Western Australia with the town of Derby.[1] It is a 42-kilometre-long (26 mi) 2-lane single carriageway. In the town of Derby, its name changes to Loch Street, where it becomes a 2-lane divided carriageway.

The RAAF Curtin inactive air force base is situated adjacent to Derby Highway near the intersection of Great Northern Highway. The base has been previously[when?] used as a refugee detention centre and civilian airport, but is not presently used for any functional purpose.
