K-268 is a 9.490-mile-long (15.273 km) east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-268's western terminus is at U.S. Route 75 (US-75) and K-31 north of Lyndon, and the eastern terminus is at K-68 north of Quenemo. There are no cities or towns along the highway, but it is a part of a direct link for traffic between Osage City and Ottawa. K-268 travels mostly through rural farmlands and is a two-lane road its entire length.

Before state highways were numbered in Kansas there were auto trails. The western terminus was part of the former Capitol Route. K-268 was first designated a state highway on November 14, 1962, to connect Pomona State Park to the State Highway System, and its alignment has not changed since. In 2014, due to repeated accidents, the eastern terminus was converted from a four-way intersection to a roundabout.
