The A846 road is one of the two principal roads of Islay in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of mainland Scotland and the only 'A' road on the neighbouring island of Jura.
A ferry connects the two islands across the Sound of Islay.
It connects Lussagiven on Jura with Ardbeg on Islay (via a ferry crossing) which is a distance of some by road – considerably less by boat. The road goes further north than Lussagiven but as a minor road through Ardlussa and Lealt and then as a track to Kinuachdrachd. The road also goes further than Ardbeg, going through Kintour and as a track to Ardtalla.
