K-123 is a 5+12-mile-long (8.9 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. The southern terminus is at K-23 north of Hoxie, and the northern terminus is at K-383 in Dresden. Along the way K-123 intersects the western terminus of K-9 south of Dresden.

Between 1938 and 1940, K-23 was realigned to follow K-9 west to US-83, then north to US-36 and US-183 in Oberlin and at this time K-123 was created to replace the former alignment of K-23 from K-9 to Dresden. Between 1944 and 1945, K-9 was realigned to end at US-83 in Dresden. Then between 1953 and 1956, K-9 was realigned to start at K-123 south of Dresden. On April 1, 1981, K-123's northern terminus was renumbered from US-383 to K-383.
