State Road 109 (SR 109) is a north–south discontinuous State Road in the US state of Indiana. The southern segment of the highway runs from U.S. Route 40 (US 40) in the town of Knightstown north to SR 9 in Anderson. The northern segment of SR 109 runs from US 30 in Columbia City northerly to US 33 in Wolf Lake. The total length of the highway is 31.769 miles (51.127 km), including the southern segment which is 20.129 miles (32.394 km) and the northern segment at 11.640 miles (18.733 km).
The first usage of the SR 109 designation dates back to 1934 with the original routing being between Columbia City and Wolf Lake. A southern section was added in 1940 between Knightstown and the Hancock–Madison County line. The southern segment was lengthened in the early 1940s and once again in the early 1950s extending the road north to just north of Anderson. The northern segment of SR 109 was shorten in Columbia City during the early 1970s. SR 109 in Madison County was moved to a new routing in the late 1990s.
The southern segment of SR 109 begins at an intersection between Main Street (US 40) and McCullum Street in the town of Knightstown. SR 109 heads north along McCullum Street before leaving the town limits and curving towards the northwest. After curving towards the northwest the road has an interchange with Interstate 70 (I–70) in rural Henry County. SR 109 enters Hancock County passing through the towns of Wilkinson. After Wilkinson SR 109 has a four-way stop with SR 234, before entering the community of Warrington. In Warrington the road becomes north-south once again, passing through rural Hancock County, before entering Madison County. SR 109 passes through a four-way stop with SR 38, west of Markleville, before an intersection with US 36. North of US 36, SR 109 parallels a CSX railroad track, before crossing over the railroad tracks south of Anderson. The northern terminus is at the intersection of SR 9 with I–69 (exit 26) in Anderson.
