The Military Road is a name given locally to part of the B6318 road in Northumberland, England, which runs from Heddon-on-the-Wall (54°59′51″N 1°47′34″W / 54.9974°N 1.7929°W / 54.9974; -1.7929 (Military Road (eastern end))) in the east to Greenhead (54°58′55″N 2°32′04″W / 54.9820°N 2.5344°W / 54.9820; -2.5344 (Military Road (western end))) in the west.

It should not be confused with the Roman-built Military Way adjoining Hadrian's Wall to the south.

For much of its length the Military Road is straight and resembles a Roman road. However the term "military road" comes from the building of the road by Hanoverian forces in 1746 in order to suppress the Jacobites to the North.
