State Road 64 in the U.S. State of Indiana is an east-west highway in the southern portion of the state. It begins at a bridge across the Wabash River at Mount Carmel, Illinois, connecting it with Illinois Route 15 and ends at Interstate 64 near Edwardsville. For the bulk of its length, it runs parallel to I-64 and approximately 30 miles north of the Interstate. Most of the route is two-lane undivided highway, with undivided multi-lane segments in the city of Princeton near the junction of U.S. Highway 41, and through the city of Huntingburg.

The stretch of IN-64 and between Princeton and Mount Carmel is scheduled to be transformed into a four-lane highway sometime around 2012 as part of Governor Mitch Daniels' Major Moves Project. This stretch of IN-64, currently a two-lane highway is often a very congested and sometimes very dangerous stretch of highway.Fact|date=June 2007

At the western end of this stretch are two very narrow bridges that typically handleFact|date=September 2007 at least 900-1200 vehicles a day, doubling to ~2000 a day vehicles during Mount Carmel's Ag Days, Lone Ranger Festival, and other holidays. The road is heavily used by commuters to the Gibson Generating Station and residents of Mount Carmel and nearby cities in Illinois commuting to Princeton and cities and factories along U.S. Route 41. In April 2008 excavation began on a bridge to replace the current one spanning the Wabash River.

Cities and towns served by SR 64 include, from west to east:
* Princeton
* Francisco
* Oakland City, home to Oakland City University
* Huntingburg
* Birdseye
* English
* Marengo
* Milltown
* New Salisbury
* Georgetown
