Interstate 444 (I-444) is an unsigned auxiliary route of the Interstate Highway System in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It makes up half of Tulsa's Inner Dispersal Loop (IDL), forming a partial beltway around Downtown Tulsa. Both ends of I-444 terminate at Interstate 244 (I-244), which makes up the other half of the IDL.

The route is signed in its entirety as U.S. Highway 75 (US-75), with the first half also being signed as U.S. Route 64 and State Highway 51 (SH-51), and the latter half being known as the Cherokee Expressway. The 2.51-mile-long freeway was first planned around 1957 with construction occurring into the 1970s before being fully open in 1981. I-444 was originally signed as such until 1995.
