Kentucky Route 9 is a 116.285-mile-long (187.143 km) state highway maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The highway extends from Grayson to Newport (a city in Kentucky across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio), roughly paralleling the Ohio River between Vanceburg and Newport.

Most of its route, from Grayson to the Interstate 275 (I-275) loop in Wilder, is part of the AA Highway, except for its northern 5.3 miles (8.5 km) which continues from the terminus of the AA Highway at I-275 into Newport.

While KY 9 is not an expressway, it nonetheless serves as the shortest highway link between Cincinnati and Ashland, Kentucky. Most of the route is a rural two-lane highway. The only municipalities on the highway are Vanceburg and Maysville and suburban areas of Cincinnati at its western terminus.^[2]
