State Route 318 (SR 318) is a state highway in eastern Nevada. It is often used as a shortcut between northeastern Nevada and Las Vegas, bypassing the longer and less direct route of U.S. Route 93 between Ely and Crystal Springs. The highway was established in the 1930s as State Route 38 and State Route 38A, and was renumbered to SR 318 in 1976. At a total of 110.762 miles (178.254 km), it is the longest state route in Nevada. The road is used for open speed highway races twice a year.
SR 318 begins on U.S. Route 93 (US 93) at Crystal Springs in Lincoln County. From there, it travels north through Hiko. SR 318 generally parallels the route of the White River on its trek northward. The highway travels through Nye County and the town of Sunnyside. The highway then enters White Pine County and serves the community of Lund. SR 318 ends at a junction on US 6 approximately 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Ely.
The racing video game Need For Speed: Pro Street features a portion of the highway as a racing track for Speed Challenges.
