State Route 147 (SR 147) is a state highway maintained by the U.S. state of Alabama in the east-central part of Alabama. The highway acts as a connector between Interstate 85 (I-85) and U.S. Route 29 (US 29) in the southern part of Auburn and US 431 between Auburn and LaFayette.
SR 267 is a bypass of SR 147. The designation of SR 267 has been removed from the state highway system. SR 147 now follows that alignment.
SR 147 has been relocated along Shug Jordan Parkway by the Alabama Department of Transportation. The highway no longer follows South College Street into downtown Auburn. When Shug Jordan Pkwy ends at North College Street, the highway turns to follow along North College Street to the area of north Auburn known as The Bottle at US 280. Then, it follows its previous alignment through Gold Hill to its terminus at US 431 in Oak Bowery, north of Opelika.
SR 147 lies mostly within the city limits of Auburn. Approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of the road travels through unincorporated Lee County, while 4.2 miles (6.8 km) lies in rural Chambers County.
