Route 79 is a highway in eastern Missouri. Its northern terminus is at Interstate 72/U.S. Route 36 in downtown Hannibal; its southern terminus is at Interstate 70 in St. Peters. The route closely parallels the Mississippi River.

When Route 79 was created in about 1930, it replaced the north–south section of Route 56, which had been created in 1922 between Troy and O'Fallon. The part of Route 56 west of Winfield became an extension of Route 47.

The highway runs from U.S. Route 12 northwest of the city of Menomonie north to Wisconsin Highway 64 in Connorsville. WIS 79 is maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

Route description

WIS 79 begins at an intersection with US 12 in the Town of Menomonie, northwest of the city of Menomonie. From here, the highway heads north across a Union Pacific Railroad line and passes through farmland. The route continues north into the Town of Sherman, where it intersects County Highway J. After crossing into the Town of Stanton, WIS 79 enters the village of Boyceville. The highway passes the Boyceville Municipal Airport before intersecting WIS 170; it follows this highway west for 430 feet (130 m) before turning northward. WIS 79 crosses a Canadian National Railway line and Tiffany Creek before leaving Boyceville and entering the Town of Tiffany. In Tiffany, the route intersects County Highway N before crossing the South Fork Hay River, after which it roughly follows the river northwest. After meeting County Highway O and crossing into the Town of New Haven, WIS 79 enters the community of Connorsville, where it terminates at WIS 64; the road continues northward as County Highway K.
