Below is a list and summary of the former state routes in Arizona, including mileage tables and maps. Between the establishment of Arizona's numbered state highway system in 1927 and the present date, several state routes have been decommissioned. Some state routes were retired as a result of the state relinquishing ownership to local authorities, while others were made extensions of or redesignated as other highways, with some former state routes being upgraded to U.S. Highway or Interstate status.

State Route 62 (SR 62) was a state highway in northwestern Arizona running a total of {{convert|3.50|mi|km|abbr=off}} from US 93 and US 466, north of Kingman to the mining town of Chloride. SR 62 was designated on May 5, 1936, coinciding with the extension of US 466 and US 93 across the Hoover Dam into Arizona. Despite the separate State Route designation from US 93/US 466, the Arizona State Highway Department considered SR 62 to be the "Chloride Spur" of both U.S. Highways.{{Cite web |url=https://azmemory.azlibrary.gov/nodes/view/158901 |title=History of the Arizona State Highway Department |author=Arizona State Highway Department and United States Public Roads Administration |date=June 1939 |format=PDF |via=Arizona Memory Project |access-date=May 18, 2023}} It was deleted from the state highway system on July 23, 1971 because of the closure of the mine in Chloride.{{ADOT res|ASHD=yes|year=1971||074|date=July 23, 1971|access-date=May 18, 2023|text=ABANDON R/W FROM STA 2+00 EAST TO STA 187+70 TO MOHAVE COUNTY. }} The road is still in use today as Mohave County Road 125.{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/35.3970072,-114.2594411/35.4140324,-114.2026402/@35.4056778,-114.2485431,14z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0

Although SR 69T never touched its parent route, SR 69, the latter route used to run immediately parallel with or close to part of SR 69T, with the two routes being connected via Grand Avenue or Buckeye Road.{{cite map |url=http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~212030~5500188:Shell-Highway-Map-of-Arizona-?sort=Date&qvq=w4s:/what/Automobile/where/Arizona;q:Arizona;sort:Date;lc:RUMSEY~8~1&mi=10&trs=12 |title=Shell Highway Map of Arizona |year=1956 |author2=H.M.

By 1965, construction had begun on I-10 east of 16th Street towards Baseline Road.

State Route 79

Arizona has had three state routes designated SR 79 at different time periods, one of which is still currently designated.

State Route 79 (SR 79) was a {{convert|85.30|mi|km|abbr=off|adj=on}} long state route between Prescott and Flagstaff. The first route to use the SR 79 designation was commissioned on September 9, 1927, as part of the original state highways from U.S. Route 89 (US 89) in Prescott to Jerome. By 1928, it was extended northeast to US 66 Flagstaff. This allowed SR 79 to act as a shorter route between Prescott and Flagstaff for motorists, rather than needing to take US 89 and US 66 on a longer route through Ash Fork. Only a section of the road from Prescott to Cottonwood was graded and had an upaved surfacing, with the remainder being an unimproved dirt road. The entire route was paved by 1939. On June 3, 1940, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials approved a request by the state of Arizona to redesignate the entirety of SR 79 as US 89 Alternate (US 89A).{{AASHTO minutes|year=1940A|access-date=June 27, 2023|page=60|quote=U.S. Route 89–Alternate. Arizona.

State Route 81 (SR 81), was a {{convert|376.30|mi|km|abbr=off|adj=on}} long state highway in eastern Arizona.{{Cite ADOT map|year=1939|access-date=May 30, 2023}} SR 81 served as one of the original state routes, designated on September 9, 1927.

In 1936, SR 81 was extended north to US 66 in Sanders. Between, Safford and the southern terminus of SR 71 near Solomonsville, SR 81 now shared a concurrency with US 70. SR 71 was decommissioned entirely, being replaced by SR 81 from US 70 to US 60T/SR 73 in Eagar. Starting in Alpine, SR 81 ran concurrently with US 260 to St. Johns. North of Eagar, SR 81 ran concurrently with US 60T to Springerville. SR 81 followed SR 61 north from St. Johns for {{convert|30|mi|km|abbr=off}}, then ran alone on a newly designated state highway to US 66 in Sanders.{{Cite ADOT map|year=1935|access-date=May 30, 2023}}{{Cite map|title=Arizona Highways - June 1936 - The Harriet F.

State Route 93 (SR 93) was a state highway in Arizona that existed from 1946 to 1985. The route was cosigned with other highways along nearly all of its route from Kingman to the border at Nogales. State Route 93 was the original designation for the highway from Kingman to Wickenburg, which was built in 1946. At some point prior to 1964 the northern terminus of the state route was moved south to the unnamed desert junction with U.S. 89 just north of Wickenburg, and the southern terminus of U.S. 93 was moved route south to the U.S. 89 junction. At that junction a driver would pass from U.S. 93 onto State Route 93. When U.S. 89 was reduced to state highway status in the 1990s, U.S. 93's southern terminus was moved south a few miles to U.S. 60 in Wickenburg. For some unknown reason, the Arizona Highway Department either never sought, or was never granted, U.S. Highway status for Route 93 across the rest of the state.

State Route 153, also known as the Sky Harbor Expressway, was a state highway in Maricopa County, Arizona, that used to run from the intersection of 44th Street and Washington Street in Phoenix south to University Drive. It was a controlled access arterial expressway, with a speed limit of {{convert|45|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}, lower than the standard freeway speed of {{convert|65|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}. SR 153 was also a north–south route that skirts the eastern edge of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and along with SR 143, SR 153 served a portion of East Valley residents with access to the airport. The majority of them used SR 143 instead, because of its quick access to and from Interstate 10 and Loop 202. SR 153 did, however, provide a direct link between east Phoenix, such as office developments in the Southbank commercial project, and the city of Tempe. It was decommissioned as a state highway and transferred to the city of Phoenix on October 19, 2007.{{ADOT res|year=2007|month=10|A|069|date=October 19, 2007|access-date=May 28, 2023|text=Disposal by Abandonment to the City of Phoenix for a continued public transportation use; PR: 85-04-A-38; T1N-R4E-S's 7, 18 & 19.}}

State Route 789 was a state highway in the eastern part of the state of Arizona, starting in the town of Nogales and ending at the New Mexico state line near Gallup on old U.S. Route 66 (presently Interstate 40). The route was cosigned with other routes, including U.S. Route 89 North from Nogales to Tucson, U.S. Route 80/U.S. Route 89 north from Tucson to U.S. Route 60 and U.S. Route 70 at Florence Junction, east on 60/70 to Globe and then 60 past Show Low to State Route 61, then east on 61 to U.S. 666 north of Springerville, where it overlapped U.S. 666 and U.S. 66 to Gallup N.M. It first appeared on an Arizona state map in 1956 and was decommissioned around 1965 when the route was decertified.

State Route 789 was a leg of a proposed U.S. 789, a number proposed for the Canada to Mexico Highway. Boosters wanted to route this new highway marked from Nogales, Arizona, north to Sweetgrass, Montana. Since the highway was to be routed along existing U.S. highways for the majority of its journey, an application for this route to be signed as a U.S. highway was denied by AASHTO. One remnant of U.S. 789 in Wyoming remains to this day as Wyoming 789.

U.S 789 was to continue north with U.S. 666 through Farmington into Cortez, Colorado. U.S. 160 and State Route 789 turned east to serve Durango.

At Durango, State Route 789 turned north again, this time via U.S. 550. At Montrose, State Route 789 followed U.S. 50 northwest to Grand Junction, then turned east again, this time via U.S. 6-24 (now Interstate 70). At Rifle, State Route 789 turned north along Colo. 13, which took State Route 789 to its present Wyoming routing at Baggs. State Route 789 is still designated through Wyoming today; see the routing section above. North of Frannie, State Route 789 continued into Montana via U.S. 310 to Laurel. State Route 789 turned east via U.S. 10-212 (now Interstate 90 and U.S. 212) into Billings. U.S. 87 and State Route 789 merged from Billings all the way to Great Falls, which brought SR 789 westward again. Then State Route 789 turned due north along U.S. 91 (now I-15) to its end at Sweetgrass, Montana.

As the Association of American State Highway Administrators never approved the concept of U.S. 789, all the state route segments started to disappear, with State Route 789 decertified about 1965.

The only stand-alone section of putative U.S. 789 is a section of Wyoming 789.
