United States Highway 181 (US 181), a north-south route, is one of many intrastate United States Highways in the United States. It lies completely within Texas, and starts and ends at Interstate 37, the road that it mainly parallels on the east. US 181 begins in Corpus Christi, Texas at mile marker 0 to the south, through south-central Texas to just south of San Antonio to the north (mile marker 131).

US 77 officially bypasses to the west of downtown about 14 miles. If US 181 didn't go through Corpus Christi, its lone Federal Highway would be I-37.

  • Portland, Texas
  • Karnes City, Texas
  • Floresville, Texas - US 181 meets Interstate 37 approximately 12 miles northwest of Floresville.

All cities listed are county seats except Portland. In keeping with a US highway going through every county/parish seat, US 181 was named accordingly. Three of the above cities have at least one other US highway running through them.
