Mississippi Highway 554 (MS 554) is a short highway near Natchez, Mississippi. The route starts at MS 555, and travels eastward. The road intersects the entrance to Natchez–Adams County Airport before ending at U.S. Route 61 (US 61). The route was designated in 1957, and it included a separate route in southern Adams County (now part of MS 555). MS 554 was temporarily removed from the highway system in 1967, but was added back in 1973.
All of the route is located in Adams County. MS 554 starts at MS 555 in the unincorporated village of Pine Ridge. The route travels eastward along Airport Road into the forest. It curves around multiple hills, until it reaches Old Johnson Road. MS 554 then travels around the airport. The road intersects the entrance to the airport at a T-intersection. Local maintenance ends, and state maintenance begins. The route continues traveling east until it reaches its eastern terminus at US 61. The road continues on as Selma Road.
In 2013, Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) calculated as many as 500 vehicles traveling west of Howard Loop, and as few as 290 vehicles traveling west of Old Meadow Road. All of the road is maintained by MDOT and Adams County. MS 554 is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS), a network of highways identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.
