The Parachilna Gorge is a gorge on the western side of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. It is located about 8 kilometres east of the small town of Parachilna. Parachilna Creek flows through the gorge. Parachilna Gorge Road runs from Parachilna on the plains up through the gorge to Blinman. Angorichina Village is near the road at the eastern end of the gorge.

Parachilna Gorge is the northern trailhead of the 1200-kilometre-long Heysen Trail, a walking trail with the other end at the tip of Fleurieu Peninsula.[2]
