David Low Way is a {{convert|36|km|mi|adj=on}} Australian road connecting the many coastal townships of the Sunshine Coast with the two large city centres of Maroochydore in the south and Noosa Heads in the north.{{cite web |url=http://www.saltmagazine.com.au/articles/features/name-game-on-the-sunshine-coast.aspx |title=Name game on the Sunshine Coast |author=Karina Eastway |date=Winter 2014 |publisher=Salt Magazine |access-date=8 January 2017 |archive-date=8 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108190135/http://www.saltmagazine.com.au/articles/features/name-game-on-the-sunshine-coast.aspx |url-status=live }} The route is an alternative coastal route to the Sunshine Motorway and passes through the sugar and fruit growing town of Bli Bli and then crosses the Sunshine Motorway. The road then travels north along the coast, through many coastal towns to the terminus at Noosa Heads.

It is named after David Low, a local Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=684446009|title=Former Members|year=2015|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|access-date=13 March 2016|archive-date=14 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314020135/http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=684446009|url-status=live}} The first stage of the road was opened between Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach on April 2, 1960, by the Queensland Premier of the time, Frank Nicklin.{{Cite news|url=https://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/opening-road-to-progress/3344324/#/0|title=Opening road to progress|work=Sunshine Coast Daily|access-date=2018-06-08|language=en|archive-date=12 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612144832/https://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/opening-road-to-progress/3344324/#/0|url-status=live}}
