South Dakota Highway 26 (SD 26) is a state route that runs across central and northeast South Dakota. It begins at a junction with South Dakota Highway 47 north of Highmore, and terminates at U.S. Highway 281 just south of Redfield. It is 50 miles (80 kilometers) in length.
South Dakota Highway 26 begins at an intersection with SD 47 in Hyde County and travels east for about seven miles before entering Hand County. Sixteen miles east of the county, SD 26 turns south and begins a one-mile concurrency with SD 45. After this concurrency, SD 26 runs east for fifteen more miles before entering Spink County. Immediately east of the Hand–Spink county line, the highway curves north and runs along the shore of Cottonwood Lake. A few miles farther north, SD 26 curves to the east and heads in this direction for approximately five miles before terminating at US 281 south of Redfield.
SD 26 does not run through any incorporated towns. The route of SD 26 is defined in South Dakota Codified Laws § 31-4-149.
The current alignment is the second use of the SD 26 identifier.
The original SD 26 was implemented in the late 1920s. It began at South Dakota Highway 25 west of Bryant, and ran east to U.S. Route 77 near Estelline. This route was redesignated as South Dakota Highway 28 around 1934.
