Highway 318 (AR 318, Ark. 318, and Hwy. 318) is a designation for two state highways in Phillips County, Arkansas. One route of 4.39 miles (7.07 km) begins at Highway 85 at Oneida and runs east to Highway 44. A second route of 15.12 miles (24.33 km) begins at Highway 1 and runs east to Highway 20. A portion of the route between Watkins Corner and Lambrook is designated as part of the Great River Road National Scenic Byway.
All routes are maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD). There is also one former routing of Highway 318, which was supplanted by US Highway 49 (US 49).
Highway 318 begins at Highway 85 at Oneida southwest of Helena-West Helena. The route runs due east as a section line road, turning due north for approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) before turning east again. The route terminates at an intersection with Highway 44.
Highway 318 begins at Highway 1 southwest of Marvell in the Arkansas Delta. The highway runs due south as a section line road to Cypert, where it passes through the Turner Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The route continues south to Watkins Corner, where it intersects Highway 318Y, a short connection providing access to Highway 316 for westbound traffic. Highway 318 intersects Highway 316 and the Great River Road, including a brief officially designated exception. After this short eastbound concurrency, Highway 318 continues due south again, now concurrent with the Great River Road, as a section line road, bridging Big Creek and crossing two levees before a junction with Highway 20 near Lambrook, where the route terminates. The Great River Road continues west along Highway 20 to Elaine.
