K-120 is a 9.126-mile-long (14.687 km) north–south state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-120's southern terminus is at K-20 south of the city of Severance and the northern terminus is a continuation as Kansas Street at the Highland city limits.[3] Just south of its northern terminus it intersects U.S. Route 36 (US-36).

Before state highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails, K-120 follows the former Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway its entire length. K-120 was first designated on June 5, 1945, as a short spur from K-20 to Severance, then was extended northward to Highland by mid 1951.[1][4]
