Perry's Lookdown is a lookout situated on the edge of the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains, Australia. It is believed to have been named by Frederick Eccleston Du Faur after either Samuel Augustus Perry or a local innkeeper. Free campsites are adjacent to the car park. The Blue Gum Forest is often accessed by foot from here, 656 vertical metres below the lookdown. The road to Blackheath is sealed.

This is most frequently visited lookout, and has well developed picnic facilities and a nice viewing spot. There is folklore surrounding a criminal who supposedly leapt off the cliff rather than be captured by law enforcement agencies, that supplants the more mundane truth of being discovered by Government surveyor William Govett, who used the word 'leap' as an old Scottish word meaning waterfall.
