State Road 218 (SR 218) is an east–west state road, that consists of two discontinuous sections, in the northern part of the US state of Indiana. The western segment of SR 218 is just under 41.4 miles (66.6 km) long and connects Old State Road 25 with SR 19. The eastern portion runs from SR 15 and the Ohio state line; it is approximately 50 miles (80 km) long. The road passes through a few small towns or small cities and passes through mostly rural agriculture land. In it entire length SR 218 passes through seven counties while covering over 91 miles (146 km).
The first state road designation along modern SR 218 was SR 118 commissioned in the early 1930s along the route between SR 5 and the Ohio state line. Within the next few years SR 218 was added to the state road system along its modern route between SR 9 and SR 5, followed very soon after with the section of road between U.S. Highway 31 (US 31) and SR 21, now SR 19 being added to the state road system. The western segment was extended west to SR 25 by the late 1930s. By the early 1950s the segment of road between SR 15 and SR 9 was added to the state road system. The road near Grissom Air Reserve Base was moved onto its modern route, north of the base, by the late 1950s. By the mid 1960s SR 218 was extended east to the Ohio state line replacing SR 118.
