State Trunk Highway 241 (often called Highway 241, STH 241 or WIS 241) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north-south in southeast Wisconsin from Oak Creek to Milwaukee along a previous routing of U.S. Route 41, for which it is named.

Highway 241 was created when State highway officials decided to re-route U.S. Route 41 off South 27th Street in Milwaukee. The change was done because residents on the section north of West Forest Home Avenue objected to a proposed widening project. In response, the entire section of US 41 from the Racine County line to the Stadium Freeway (also known as WIS 341) was moved east to run on the North-South Freeway with Interstate 94.
