The Morgan – Whyalla pipeline is a water pipeline in South Australia bringing water from the town of Morgan on the River Murray to the industrial city of Whyalla.

The pipeline was constructed by the Government of South Australia in 1940, with a second pipeline, running on a divergent route, added in the 1960s.
