U.S. Highway 350 is a 73.00 mile (117.48 km) long northeast-southwest United States highway located entirely within the state of Colorado. US 350, signed as an east-west highway, is a vital corridor in the isolated region. Its history predates the 1926 creation of the numbered US highway system as the route parallels part of the Mountain Branch of the historic Santa Fe Trail.

As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in La Junta at an intersection with U.S. Highway 50. Its western terminus is east of Trinidad at an intersection with U.S. Highway 160.
