Route 51 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It runs approximately 5.4 miles (8.7 km) from Route 115 in West Warwick to Route 12 in Cranston.
Route 51 starts at an intersection with Route 115 in West Warwick. It runs northward through residential areas before skirting the Cranston Country Club. It continues north, passes over I-295 without an exit, and ends at Route 12 in Cranston.
Route 51 is the only Rhode Island state highway that does not have any state-maintained sections. Also, many maps do not show the correct route for Route 51. Generally, maps which show Route 51 at all show it starting at Route 37 on Natick Avenue, then heading along Natick Avenue and Phenix Avenue, ending at Route 12. This route is incorrect according to RIDOT, whose pavement management log shows Route 51 starting at Route 115; it comes close to Route 37 but does not intersect it.
