Mississippi Highway 149 (MS 149) is a state highway in Mississippi. The route designation is given to five former segments of U.S. Route 49 (US 49) within the state that have been bypassed. The sections run through Wiggins, Mount Olive, between Magee and Sanatorium, between Mendenhall and Braxton, and between Yazoo City and Silver City. The total length of the five sections of MS 198 is 43.204 miles (69.530 km).
MS 149 begins at an intersection with US 49 south of Wiggins in Stone County, heading north along two-lane undivided South Magnolia Drive. The road passes through a mix of woodland and industrial and business areas. Farther north, the highway comes to an interchange with MS 26, at which point MS 149 becomes concurrent with MS 29. The two highways continue north and pass businesses as a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane a short distance to the west of a Kansas City Southern Railway line. The name of the road changes to North Magnolia Drive at the College Avenue intersection. MS 29 splits from MS 149 by heading east while MS 149 curves northwest along with the railroad tracks and passes through wooded residential and commercial areas as a two-lane road. The tracks head further from the road as it continues through woods and development before MS 149 passes to the west of industry and comes to its northern end at another intersection with US 49 north of Wiggins.
