State Route 180 (SR 180) is a 20.1-mile-long (32.3 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Maine traveling from U.S. Route 1A (US 1A) in Ellsworth to SR 9 near Eddington.
SR 180 begins at an intersection with US 1A about two and a half miles (4.0 km) northwest of downtown Ellsworth. It travels north along Wittum Road through a light industrial park before heading into a more wooded area paralleling the Union River on its west bank. About one and a half miles (2.4 km) from here, it meets Mariaville Road, a former alignment of SR 180, and travels along the west shore of Graham Lake passing small houses along the way. It crosses the outlet from Green Lake where the Green Lake National Fish Hatchery, operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, is located. As it nears the Ellsworth–Otis corporate line, SR 180 passes to the east of Hopkins Hill. Upon entering the town of Otis, the road passes through a small settlement titled Fletchers Lodge where a general store and an elementary school are located. Numerous roads towards the west lead to Beech Hill Pond. In this area, SR 180 meets the southern terminus of SR 181 (Mariaville Road) which heads north towards Mariaville.
