Mississippi Highway 465 (MS 465) is a highway in the southern region of the Mississippi Delta. The highway starts at U.S. Route 61 (US 61) near Redwood. It travels westward towards the Mississippi River, and then northwards to the village of Eagle Bend. The highway then traverses on the Mississippi River levee on a one-lane road. Later, MS 465 leaves the levee, continues northward, and soon ends at MS 1.
The highway was built around 1956, as a gravel road from US 61 in Vicksburg, to MS 1 in Fitler. The southern terminus was moved in 1960 to near Redwood, and the highway was completely paved by 1984.
