State Road 124 (SR 124) is a east–west state road in the U.S. state of Indiana. The highway runs from SR 19 in Peru east through Bluffton and Monroe to end at Ohio State Route 81 near Willshire, Ohio. SR 124 runs through mostly agricultural land and near a few state parks through Northern Indiana.
SR 124 was first designated as a state road in 1932 along a segment of its current route. It was extended west to the Miami–Wabash county line by the late 1930s and to Peru by the early 1950s. The entire route was paved in the early 1960s to the mid 1960s. A reroute in the 2000s bypassed the west side of Bluffton.
SR 124 starts in Peru at the corner of Broadway (SR 19) and Riverside Drive. The state road heads east concurrent with Riverside Drive and parallel to the Wabash River. The road leaves Peru and enters rural Miami County, passing through farmland. SR 124 parallels the Mississinewa River, before crossing over it. After crossing over the river SR 124 passes north of the Mississinewa Lake Dam, before entering Wabash County. In Wabash County the highway passes through mostly agricultural areas with some woodlands. SR 124 has intersection with SR 13 and SR 15 in rural Wabash County, south of the city of Wabash. East of SR 15, SR 124 enters Huntington County.
