Kentucky Route 536 (KY 536) is a state highway that connects Rabbit Hash to Alexandria via Florence and Independence in Northern Kentucky, United States. The western terminus of the route is at Kentucky Route 338 in Rabbit Hash. The eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 27 in Alexandria.
KY 536 begins at an intersection with KY 338 (East Bend Road) less than a mile east of the Ohio River in Rabbit Hash. As Rabbit Hash Road, KY 536 winds through rural western Boone County before becoming more residential in nature and becoming Hathaway Road as it approaches southern Florence. Near Union, KY 536 intersects with Old Union Road, the former routing of U.S. Route 42 before US 42 was realigned from the Union city line to just south of Ryle High School. At Old Union Road, KY 536 becomes known as Hathaway Road and continues east. 1/4 mile east of its intersection with US 42, KY 536 intersects the modern routing of US 42, here concurrent with U.S. Route 127, and becomes Mount Zion Road.
In eastern Boone County, KY 536 runs through its most congested area—between I-71/I-75 and US 25, marking the end of its status as a purely residential road. KY 237 forms and heads north as Gunpowder Road just west of this segment. Mt. Zion Road continues east into Kenton County toward Independence, where it meets KY 1303 in the western outskirts. Here, Mt. Zion Road and KY 1303 both end while KY 536 continues east on Bristow Road, occupied by KY 1303 north of this point. The road then continues southeast through rural/suburban Independence into the heart of the city, turning into Banklick Station Road for a short length before becoming Shaw Road ahead of an intersection with KY 17. East of KY 17, KY 536 becomes the Harris Pike and heads southeast.
