State Route 385 (SR 385) is the designation for two separate segments of state highway in the Memphis Metropolitan Area in Shelby and Fayette counties in West Tennessee, forming a semicircle around and through the Memphis suburbs.
The route is constructed to Interstate-compatible freeway standards with full control of access throughout. The southern portion of the loop is notable for its almost-exclusive use of single-point urban interchanges.
The eastern portion of the highway, south of I-40 to Collierville has been signed as I-269, although as of April 1, 2018 no formal announcement of the change has been made by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. It is expected that the I-269 designation will be extended to the northern terminus of the highway, and the SR 385 designation truncated at I-269 in the future.
