Mount Bryan is a town in north east South Australia. The town is situated on the Barrier Highway, 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Burra, in the Regional Council of Goyder. The town was named by Governor George Gawler in 1839.

Once the heart of a thriving farming community, including some of Australia's best known Merino sheep studs, the town today is largely represented by the Mt. Bryan Hotel—an old pub.

At the northern end of the Mount Lofty Ranges, the the views of and from the surrounding hills are scenic. An popular route is north east to Sir Hubert Wilkins cottage, birthplace of perhaps the last modern explorer.

Modern technology has found Mount Bryan with windfarms generating clean energy from some of the ridge-tops.
