Interstate 405 (abbreviated I-405) in Oregon is a short loop route, also known as the Stadium Freeway, which is Highway 61. I-405 connects downtown Portland west of the Willamette River to Interstate 5, and travels only through the city of Portland. It opened to traffic on Feb. 25, 1969. It contains an interchange intended for the cancelled I-505.

On its northern end, I-405 crosses the Willamette River on the Fremont Bridge. See Interstate 5.

Interstate 405 shares pavement with U.S. Highway 30 from Exit 4 (Interstate 5) to Exit 3 (NW Industrial District). It intersects with U.S. Highway 26 at Exit 1D.

The freeway was completed in 1973 when the Fremont Bridge opened, completing the loop and linking I-405 to I-5 in North Portland.
