Interstate 180 (I-180) is a 1.09-mile-long (1.75 km) expressway in the US state of Wyoming between I-80 and downtown Cheyenne.

It is unusual for being one of the few Interstate Highways that does not conform to Interstate Highway standards. There is also no control of access anywhere along its route.[1][failed verification] Other routes in Alaska and Puerto Rico are similar in nature, as they are funded by Interstate dollars but do not conform to Interstate Highway standards.[2] The only grade separations are a diamond interchange at its southern end (at a junction with I-80) and a pair of bridges that run over 1st Street and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. However, even the interchange with I-80 is a standard diamond with signalized intersections. There are five traffic signals along I-180.

I-180 is cosigned with I-25 Business Loop (I-25 BL), US Highway 85 (US 85), and US 87 Business (US 87 Bus.), making it the only concurrency of an Interstate, Interstate business route, US Highway, and US Highway business route. It is also the only auxiliary Interstate Highway in Wyoming.
