Kentucky Route 54 (KY 54) is a 54.329-mile-long (87.434 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky.

The highway, which begins at the intersection of Frederica Street and Parrish Avenue in Owensboro at its junction with Kentucky Route 81 and Kentucky Route 2831 (formerly US 431), connects Owensboro to Leitchfield, while also serving the smaller communities of Philpot, Whitesville and Fordsville.

In Owensboro proper, the route has over the years been straightened and widened, particularly toward the eastern reaches of the city. From Leitchfield Road to Kentucky Route 1456 (also known as Thruston-Dermont Road and Millers Mill Road), the highway is five lanes wide and serves as the backbone of the growing retail and service area which has grown up in the area surrounding the highway's interchange with US 60 and US 231.
