Breadalbane ([34°48′S 149°27′E]) is a small village located on the Lachlan River headwaters and not far from Goulburn in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia in Upper Lachlan Shire. This little town is also located nearby and adjacent to the major Hume Highway which links Sydney to Melbourne via an inland route. Previously the highway used to go through the small town however it was bypassed in the early 1990s.

Breadalbane is also located nearby to the start of the Federal Highway which branches off the Hume Highway just south of Goulburn and heads directly towards Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, and the capital city of Australia where the Commonwealth Federal Parliament sits.

Breadalbane is a very historic town and it is located on the Old Hume Highway together Cullerin and Gunning. There is not much now at Breadalbane aside from a few houses. In the past there was accommodation and a pub, service station and a train station (platform still visible behind the pub) however there is now no longer any of these services available at all.
