Route 101 is a short highway in southern Missouri. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 160 in Caulfield; its southern terminus is at the Arkansas state line (where it continues as Highway 101) south of Bakersfield, the only other town on the route.
In 1932, Route M was designated to a gravel road that started from the state line to Route 80, passing through Bakersfield. It was renumbered to Route 101 in 1941, part of many changes made by the Missouri State Highway Commission. All of the route was paved by 1953. Around 1954, Route 101 was realigned west of Bakersfield, shifting the southern terminus to the west. US 160 replaced Route 80 in the same year.
