State Route 136 (SR 136) is a state highway in the central portion of the U.S. state of Tennessee.
It connects U.S. Route 70S (US 70S) near Rock Island in Warren County with SR 52 in northern Overton County, traversing much of the northeastern Highland Rim.
SR 136 begins at an intersection with US 70S just south of Rock Island. The route proceeds north to Rock Island and junctions with SR 287, which connects it to Rock Island State Park to the west. SR 136 then bridges the Caney Fork River and enters White County before turning northeast through the community of Walling. It then turns northward again and continues through mostly rural terrain.
After several miles it junctions with US 70 west of Sparta, and SR 135 at Bakers Crossroads, near the Putnam County line. It turns eastward briefly and has an interchange with SR 111 at Hampton's Crossroads, and joins SR 111 for a short distance before diverging again near Cookeville. As it continues into downtown Cookeville, the road widens to four lanes, and crosses an interchange with Interstate 40 (I-40). SR 136 follows Jefferson Avenue through much of Cookeville before briefly turning eastward at the courthouse square, and then northward again along Washington Avenue. Near Cookeville High School at the northern edge of the city, the road narrows for a final time to two lanes.
