K-26 is a short state highway located entirely within Cherokee County, Kansas. Its northern terminus is at K-66 in Galena and its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 166/U.S. Route 400 about two miles from the Missouri/Kansas/Oklahoma corner. Its total length is 3.6 miles.^[1]

K-26 originally began at US-69 at Crestline and ended at US-66 at Riverton in 1941. By 1954, K-26 was extended east to Galena, then south on its current alignment. When US-66 was decommissioned, the segment between Crestline and Riverton became U.S 69 Alternate, and the section between Riverton and Galena was marked solely as K-66.^[2]
