State Highway 27 (abbreviated SH-27) is a state highway in east-central Oklahoma. It has an extent of 14.7 miles (23.7 km)[1] from south to north in Hughes and Okfuskee Counties. There are no letter-suffixed spur highways branching from SH-27.
SH-27 was first added to the state highway system in the late 1940s, but was removed from state control for approximately two years. Around 1958 it was returned to the highway system. Over the course of the highway's history, it was upgraded from a dirt and gravel connector route to a fully paved highway. The route was realigned in the mid-1990s, changing its southern end from US-75 north of Wetumka to SH-9 west of Wetumka. The route's northern terminus, at US-62 in Okemah, has remained constant throughout its history.
