State Road 71 (SR 71) is a north–south discontinuous state road in the west-central Indiana part of the US state of Indiana. The southern segment is completely within Vermillion County, while the northern segment is in Benton and Newton counties. The highway passes through mostly rural areas. The southern end of the southern segment is in Blanford at SR 163 before ending at SR 63 near Newport. The northern segment begins at an intersection with SR 352 near Ambia and heads north passing through the community of Raub before ending at U.S. Highway 24/U.S. Highway 52 (US 24/US 52).

The original designation of SR 71 went from SR 163 and US 36 in the early 1930s. This road was extended north to SR 63 by the mid-1940s. The northern section of SR 71 was designated in the early 1950s.
