Rodovia Washington Luís (official designation SP-310) is a highway in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

It runs in the North-Northwest direction, departing as a branch from the Anhangüera Highway near the city of Limeira. It also crosses with the Rodovia dos Bandeirantes, nearby the city of Cordeirópolis.

Main cities linked by the Washington Luís Highway are Rio Claro, São Carlos, Araraquara, Catanduva, São José do Rio Preto and Mirassol.

Iit is named in honor of Washington Luís Pereira de Sousa (1869-1957), one of the presidents of Brazil and a paulista, who famously declared in 1926 that "to govern is to build roads".

The highway is managed and maintained through a state concession to the private companies Centrovias and Triângulo do Sol, and therefore is a toll road.

From Mirassol to Ilha Solteira, the code is the same but the name is changed to "Feliciano Sales Cunha".

There is another highway so named in Brazil, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, between that city and Petrópolis.
