Iowa Highway 148 (Iowa 148) is a highway which runs in a north–south direction in southwestern Iowa. It has a length of 67 miles (108 km). The southern end of Iowa Highway 148 is at the Missouri border southwest of Bedford and just northeast of Hopkins, Missouri. The highway continues south into Missouri as Missouri Route 148. The northern end of Iowa 148 is at Interstate 80 (I-80) and U.S. Route 6 (US 6) north of Anita.
Iowa 148 begins as a continuation of Route 148 northeast of Hopkins, Missouri. Between Hopkins and Bedford, the highway heads northeast, running parallel to the east fork of the One Hundred and Two River. At Bedford, the river goes east around the city while the highway turns north into town. For one-quarter mile, Iowa 148 overlaps Iowa 2, from Madison Street to Bent Street.
The route heads due north from Bedford, but jogs to the west near Lake of Three Fires State Park, but returns to a due-north course near Gravity. The highway then travels 15 1⁄2 miles (24.9 km) to an intersection with US 34 at Corning. The highway goes through the eastern side of Corning, wrapping around its north side, and then bearing west again before straightening out to the north. Passing through rural Adams and Cass Counties, Iowa 148 does not pass near another town for 20 miles (32 km), when it intersects Iowa 92 east of Massena.
