U.S. Route 301 Bypass (US 301 Bypass), also signed as SR 73 Bypass, is a four-lane bypass of US 301. It runs south–north east and south of the city of Statesboro, Georgia. US 301 bypass, along with US 25 Bypass, makes up the Veterans Memorial Parkway, which forms a near circle around the city.

The bypass begins south of the city at the intersection with US 25 Bypass. It runs east along the perimeter of Georgia Southern University. It follows the perimeter of the university, turning northeast towards Fair Road (SR 67), where it breaks off from the university perimeter and turns northward. After turning north, the bypass intersects with Northside Drive (US 80/SR 26), SR 24, and finally US 301 north.

The Veterans Memorial Parkway was commissioned in the early 1990s. Both US 25 Bypass and US 301 Bypass were completed at the same time as two-lane highways. Several years later, US 25 Bypass was widened to become a four-lane divided highway. In March 2007, work began on the widening of US 301 Bypass. The bypass was completed in October 2008.
