Farrington Highway is a major highway through the western part of O‘ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Starting from Kamehameha Highway north of Pearl Harbor, it heads west along the island's southwestern and western coast; another part of the highway also serves the western part of the North Shore, ending in Waialua. With the exception of a gap around Kaena Point (which is a protected area and not accessible by car), the highway forms an almost continuous arc along the coast of the western half of the island of O‘ahu.
The highway consists of the following sections, from north to south:
Hawaii Route 930, runs east to west along the North Shore, from Waialua to near Kaena Point. It is the major highway through this area.- A gap around Kaena Point.

The highway does not currently run through the Point because it is a state park.
