Interstate 27 (abbreviated I-27) is an intrastate interstate highway located entirely within the state of Texas in the United States. It goes from Lubbock, Texas at U.S. Highway 87 to Amarillo, Texas at Interstate 40. I-27 is a part of the proposed Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor which would link Denver, Colorado to Laredo, Texas and ultimately, Mexico.

Although there are currently no spur routes off of I-27, there is a beltway around Lubbock and an accompanying spur highway from the southwest side. There are arguments that the beltway (currently signed as Texas State Highway Loop 289) should be renamed I-227 and the spur highway (currently signed as Texas State Highway Loop 327) I-327.
The Marsha Sharp Freeway through Lubbock, now under construction, is reportedly designed to Interstate standards and many Lubbock residents believe it, as well as Loop 289 and Loop 327, will receive Interstate designation as part of the Port-to-Plains project. However, state and federal officials do not comment to questions regarding the possible renaming or any other rumored projects, such as the Loop 1729 beltway through rural Lubbock County similar to Loop 1604 in Bexar County.

In the video game [[Need for Speed: Underground 2]], Interstate 27 is the name given to the fictional city of Bayview's freeway system.

There is a punk band from Oklahoma calling themselves [Interstate 27].
"Song of 27" from Richard Buckner's 1997 album Devotion + Doubt is named after and references I-27.
