State Route 385 (SR 385) is the designation for two non-contiguous segments of east–west controlled-access highway in the Memphis metropolitan area in Shelby County, Tennessee, separated by a section of Interstate 269 (I-269). The northern section, designated as Paul W. Barret Parkway runs between U.S. Route 51 (US 51) in Millington and I-40 in Arlington, both of which are suburbs of Memphis. The southern segment, known as Bill Morris Parkway, runs between I-240 in southeastern Memphis, and I-269 in Collierville, and also serves the city of Germantown. The northern segment, combined with I-269, serves as a partial outer beltway around Memphis, and the southern segment serves as a spur route between the city and its southeastern suburbs, and is notable for its almost-exclusive use of single-point urban interchanges (SPUIs).

The highway that is now SR 385 was originally envisioned in the 1960s. The first section to be completed was part of the northern section in the early 1980s. The southern section was constructed in multiple sections between 1990 and 2000, with an extension opening in 2007. The highway was originally one continuous route until 2018, when the section between I-269 in Collierville and I-40 in Arlington, which opened in segments between 2007 and 2013, was redesignated as part of I-269.
