Spur 69 is a four-lane state-maintained roadway in Austin, Texas. It is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in length and is named Koenig Lane /ˈkeɪnɪɡ/. It forms a link between RM 2222 and US 290 at I-35. Spur 69 is signed over its entire length as RM 2222, rather than as Spur 69.

Between 1939 and 1945, Spur 69 referred to a short section of what is now SH 12 near Deweyville. The current location in Austin was first assigned in 1969.

In 1990, Spur 69 was redesignated as State Highway 169; the designation was reverted to Spur 69 in 1991. There already was a SH 69 at the time.

Spur 69 begins at an intersection with North Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Travis County, where the roadway continues northwest as RM 2222. From here, the highway heads southeast as West Koenig Lane, a four-lane divided highway signed as RM 2222. The road passes businesses before heading into residential areas with some commercial establishments, becoming East Koenig Lane. Spur 69 crosses the Capital MetroRail Red Line, turning east and becoming an undivided freeway with frontage roads. The highway reaches an interchange with Airport Boulevard south of the Highland Mall and becomes a divided highway again as it comes to a large interchange with I-35/US 290. It is east of this interchange that Spur 69 ends and the freeway continues east as part of US 290.
