K-192 is a 16.241-mile-long (26.137 km) east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-192's western terminus is at U.S. Route 59 (US-59) and K-16 west-northwest of Winchester and the eastern terminus is at US-73 and K-7 west-northwest of Leavenworth. K-192 travels mostly through rural land but does pass through the cities of Winchester and Easton.

Before state highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails. The former Corn Belt Route and South West Trail closely followed the highways western terminus. The former George Washington National Highway and King of Trails followed the highways eastern terminus. K-192 was first designated a state highway on January 4, 1939.[1] In 1964, the western terminus was shortened slightly when a new alignment of US-59 was built, and then in 1999, the eastern terminus was shortened when US-73 was moved to a new alignment.
