Alberta Provincial Highway No. 49, commonly referred to as Highway 49, is a highway in northwestern Alberta, Canada. It runs east–west from the British Columbia border to Donnelly, and then north–south to Valleyview.[2] Highway 49 has a total length of 266 kilometres (165 mi).[1]

The portion of Highway 49 from Donnelly to the British Columbia is also known as the Spirit River Highway. It also comprises the westernmost segment of Alberta's portion of the Northern Woods and Water Route. After Donnelly, the Northern Woods and Water Route continues eastward along Highway 2 and then Highway 55.[3][4] Its southernmost section, between Highway 2 and Highway 43, is designated as a core route of Canada's National Highway System.
