Indiana State Road 327 is a north-south, largely rural surface highway in north-eastern Indiana. It is an undivided surface road throughout its entire course between the Indiana/Michigan state line just north of Orland, Indiana to a point just south of Garrett, Indiana, where it terminates at an intersection with Indiana State Road 205.
In Michigan, Indiana 327 becomes a Branch County, Michigan county road leading to Bronson, Michigan. South of Garrett, Indiana 327 becomes Coldwater Road.
As is typical of three-numbered state highways in Indiana, it has a 'parent' two-digit US or state route, in this case U.S. Route 27, now decommissioned in favor of Interstate 69 north of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
After construction of Interstate 69 and the decommissioning of US 27 in 1967, Indiana 327 became the designation for the old surface route of US 27 from Garrett south to the north side of Fort Wayne. Since that time, however, Indiana 327 has been truncated just south of Garrett at Indiana State Road 205.
