Interstate 124 (I-124) is an unsigned designation for a short segment of a controlled-access highway located in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

During periods where this two-mile-long (3.2 km) segment of U.S. Route 27 (US 27) has been signed as I-124, it has served as a spur route of I-24 to downtown Chattanooga. The road segment has not been signed as I-124 since the late 1980s (it is marked on overhead signs and milemarkers as US 27),[3] and the Tennessee Department of Transportation official map no longer designates it as I-124, but some DOT publications still make reference to the designation, and its exit numbers remain.[4]
