K-117 is an approximately 11.98-mile-long (19.28 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-117's southern terminus is at U.S. Route 36 (US-36) in Midway, which is between Atwood and Oberlin. The highway heads north and passes by Herndon before reaching the Nebraska border, where it continues as Nebraska Highway 17 (N-17). K-117 is a two-lane highway its entire length.

In January 1937, it was approved to add the highway to the State Highway System when the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) had finished their portion of the highway. K-117 was first designated as a state highway on May 26, 1937, to connect to the new highway that was completed by NDOT. K-117's alignment has not changed since it was designated. At times, sections of the highway have had to be closed due to flooding from Beaver Creek.
