State Route 70 is a state-maintained highway in eastern Tennessee, beginning at the border with North Carolina in the midst of the Cherokee National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains and ending at the Virginia border in the extremely rural and mountainous terrain of Hancock County.

The highway travels through both Greeneville and Rogersville, bisecting Interstate 81 between the two towns.
