This is a list of highways in San Antonio, Texas, consisting of Interstates, U.S. highways, state highways, state highway loops and spurs maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) within the San Antonio, Texas city limits. They range from multi-lane freeways that provide high-volume corridors to 2-lane roads. In addition to the four Interstates, which must be freeways per the Interstate Highway standards, U.S. Highway 90 (US 90), US 281, and State Highway 151 (SH 151) are also freeways in San Antonio. There are also a couple instances where other highways run concurrently with the aforementioned freeways; US 87 and SH 16 run concurrently with Interstate 10 (I-10) and I-410 respectively.
