K-148 is an 86.665-mile-long (139.474 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-148's western terminus is at K-28 north of Randall and the northern terminus is a continuation as Nebraska Highway 112 at the Nebraska state line. K-148 is signed as east–west its entire length although the last roughly 20 miles (32 km) runs north–south. Along the way K-148 intersects several major highways including U.S. Route 81 (US-81) east of Norway and US-36 south of Hanover. The highway travels through mostly rural land and small unincorporated communities, however it does pass through the cities of Agenda and Barnes.

Before state highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails. The former Meridian Highway crosses K-148 slightly west of Talmo, the former Kansas White Way crosses between K-15 and Barnes, and the former Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway crosses by Hanover. On March 27, 1956, K-148 was established in Jewell, Republic, Washington counties from K-28 to K-9 and K-15. On May 2, 1988, K-148 was extended east and north over the former K-15E to the Nebraska border.
