M-331 was an unsigned state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan located within the city of Kalamazoo. It ran from the southern city limits north into downtown Kalamazoo. This was one of many highways to be established or realigned as a result of a rationalization process initiated in 1998 during the tenure of Governor John Engler. M-331 used streets in Kalamazoo that were once part of US Highway 131 (US 131) before a freeway was built that bypassed the downtown area. In 2019, the City of Kalamazoo and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) agreed to transfer control of various streets from state to city jurisdiction, and M-331 was decommissioned as a result.
