State Highway 88 (SH 88) is a state highway located within the Denver Metropolitan Area in the U.S. state of Colorado. Spanning 19.171 miles (30.853 km), the highway travels through the City and County of Denver and Arapahoe County. SH 88 begins at Colfax Avenue (I-70 Bus., US 40, and US 287) in Denver and heads south along Federal Boulevard until it reaches Belleview Avenue, where it continues east until it reaches Interstate 25 in the Denver Tech Center. It then continues along Arapahoe Road until it reaches eastern terminus at SH 83 (Parker Road) in Aurora.

SH 88 is one of the original state highways commissioned when the state highway system was formed in 1923. It originally was a continuous route that went from Belleview to Broadway and then east to Parker Road. It was extended along Quincy Avenue to serve the Lowry Field Bombing Range and was turned back after the bombing range was decommissioned. It was then rerouted on the newly built Arapahoe Road that goes from I-25 to Parker Road, making the present day route from Colfax Avenue in Denver to Parker Road in Aurora.
