U.S. Route 75 is a north-south U.S. Highway. U.S. 75 was a border-to-border route, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston, Texas. However, the entire segment south of Dallas, Texas has been decommissioned in favor of Interstate 45, a cutoff section of town-to-town surface road having become Texas State Highway 75.

Termini
As of 2006, the highway's northern terminus is in Kittson County, Minnesota at the Canadian border, where it continues as Provincial Highway 75. Its southern terminus is at the unsigned Interstate 345 in Dallas, Texas (where it is known as North Central Expressway). The portion south of Interstate 345 continues as Texas State Highway 310 through the south side of Dallas to a terminus with Interstate 45. Segments of old US 75 below Dallas are signed as Business Route I-45 (through Ennis, Texas and Corsicana, Texas) and Texas State Highway 75.

It southern terminus is at US 75 just east of Beggs. It is occasionally signed as Oklahoma State Highway 75A. The main line of US 75, known locally as the "Okmulgee Beeline", is a modern four-lane highway. Its original route, three miles (5 km) to the west through Kiefer, was designated as Alternate US 75.
