Annandale ( Gaelic: Srath Anann) is a strath in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, named after the River Annan. It runs north-south through the Southern Uplands from Annanhead (north of Moffat) to Annan on the Solway Firth and in its higher reaches it separates the Moffat hills on the east from the Lowther hills to the west. A 53 mile long-distance walking route called Annandale Way running through Annandale (from the source of the River Annan to the sea) was opened in September 2009.

Annandale were an Australian rugby league football club which played in the New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership from 1910 to 1920. Based in Annandale, New South Wales and nicknamed "The Dales", the club's colours were red and gold.

The club was never able to finish higher than fifth in their eleven-year history and managed to win just one match in their final three seasons. This, combined with the industrialisation of the area led to their omission from the competition for further seasons at the end of 1920. All these events are often attributed to the fact that fewer players were eligible to play under the residency rules in place at the time ( Glebe would also later fall victim, in part, to this phenomenon).

Annandale, also known as Alpine Farms, is a historic home located at Gilmore Mills, Botetourt County, Virginia. It was built in 1835, and is a two-story, Greek Revival-style brick dwelling with a deck-on-hip roof. It has a one-story, three bay, wooden front porch with tapering square coiumns. A two-story brick west wing and a single story frame ell, were added in 1969. Also on the property is a contributing brick dairy or meathouse.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

Annandale is the penultimate station heading westbound on New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line towards High Bridge. The station, located in the Annandale section of Clinton Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States, is located at the end of Main Street, near Interchange 18 on Interstate 78. The station has one low-level side platform, with a shelter, 77 parking spaces and bicycle racks. The station depot at the station, constructed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, was demolished in 1983. Plans are in final stages to revamp the station's lighting, parking and pavement to help expand parking for the station, which commonly has 110 – 130 cars parked in it.

Annandale was a line operated by the Pacific Electric Railway from 1902 to 1928. The line from the Pacific Electric Building at 6th and Main streets in Downtown Los Angeles to the town of Annandale (later part of Pasadena), specifically at the intersection of Avenue 64 and La Loma Street. It split from the Pasadena via Oak Knoll line at Roble Avenue and Avenue 64.

There was an early plan to extend the line to Downtown Pasadena by way of West California Boulevard (where a local line was already running). Connections between Los Angeles and Pasadena were limited by topography, and the three existing lines were all very heavily used.

The line was abandoned in 1928.
