State Route 24 (not to be confused with Interstate 24, which bisects Tennessee) is a "hidden" west-east state highway in Tennessee, as it coincides with U.S. Route 70 (and U.S. Route 70 Business in Lebanon) and U.S. Route 70N for its entire duration from Nashville to Crossville. The road begins in western Nashville (junction of Memphis-Bristol Highway and Charlotte Pike) and ends in Crossville (junction of West Avenue & Sparta Highway). It runs alongside Interstate 40 for its entire length.

There are no "Tennessee 24" signs along the route, although the designation can be seen on the route's mile markers.
