State Route 181 is a 18.235-mile (29.346 km) long route in Baldwin County in the southwestern part of the state. The southern terminus of the route is at its junction with US-98 near Magnolia Springs. The northern terminus of the route is at its junction with US-31, near Spanish Fort.
State Route 181 includes both a four lane section and a lengthy two lane section which was once known as Baldwin County Road 27. The four lane section travels through commercial retail areas and across I-10. The two lane section begins just south of the intersection with US 90 in the Malbis community. Plans are in progress to improve the route to four lanes through its entire length.
Many local residents use this route as a north–south alternative to US-98 which runs parallel to it a few miles to the west. US-98 travels through the cities of Daphne and Fairhope while Alabama-181 travels through rural country.
The entire route is in Baldwin County.
