K-239 is a 5.677-mile-long (9.136 km) east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-239's western terminus is at a diamond interchange with U.S. Route 69 (US-69) west of the City of Prescott. The eastern terminus is at the Missouri state line, where it continues as Missouri Route A. K-239 is a two-lane highway for its entire length.

Before highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails. K-239 crosses the former Kansas City-Fort Scott-Miami-Tulsa Short Line and former Ozark Trails in Prescott. K-239 was first designated as a state highway by the State Highway Commission of Kansas, now known as the Kansas Department of Transportation, on July 11, 1962. At that time, the highway was a spur connecting Prescott with US-69, which previously travelled north–south through the city. In 1964, the highway was approved to be extended east to the Missouri state line.
