The Amy Gillett Bikeway or Amy Gillett Rail Trail or Amy Gillett Pathway is a shared path in the Adelaide Hills on part of the alignment of the former Mount Pleasant railway line. It is a 17 kilometres (11 mi) sealed path suitable for recreational cycling, walking and horse riding. The trail is named after Australian track cyclist and rower Amy Gillett.

Stage 1 was opened in January 2010 by Patrick Conlon, then the South Australian Minister for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure. Stage 1 extended 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) between Oakbank and Woodside,^[1] with kerbside bike lanes on Onkaparinga Valley Road continuing south from the trailhead through Oakbank. Stage 2 extended it through Charleston^[2] and Stage 3 opened in May 2014 added 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to Mount Torrens.^[3] Future work could extend it another 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) through Birdwood to Mount Pleasant.

Funding for Stage 4 was secured in 2024, with the Adelaide Hills Council agreeing to contribute $500,000. This stage is expected to be completed by mid-2025. The final stage, to linking the bikeway to the existing Barossa Trail, was still under negotiation in April 2024.^[4]

There are also several side loop trails available to interesting destinations off the main path.^[5]
