Nebraska Highway 121 is a highway in northeastern Nebraska. It is a discontinuous highway with three segments. The southern segment begins at Nebraska Highway 32 west of Madison and ends at U.S. Highway 275 north of Battle Creek. The middle segment begins at Nebraska Highway 13 northwest of Pierce and ends at Nebraska Highway 84 north of Wausa. The northern segment begins at Nebraska Highway 12 in Crofton and ends at U.S. Highway 81 northeast of Crofton, near the South Dakota border.
The southern segment of Nebraska Highway 121 begins at an intersection with NE 32 west of Madison. It heads in a northward direction through farmland, passing through Battle Creek. Just north of Battle Creek, it intersects with US 275, where this segment terminates for about 15 miles (24 km).
The middle segment of Nebraska Highway 121 begins at NE 13 northwest of Pierce. It heads in a northward direction through farmland, where it intersects with US 20 in Osmond. NE 121 runs concurrently with US 20 for about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the east, before splitting and continuing northward. It then intersects NE 59 before entering Wausa to the north. The highway turns to the east and then northward again as it passes through Wausa. Further north, it will meet NE 84 and the segment will terminate at that point, resuming about 10 miles (16 km) to the northeast.
