Interstate 444 (I-444) is an unsigned auxiliary route of Interstate 44 located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is part of the Interstate Highway System and makes up half of Tulsa's Inner Dispersal Loop (IDL), forming a partial beltway around Downtown Tulsa. Both ends of I-444 terminate at I-244, which makes up the other half of the IDL.

The route is signed in its entirety as U.S. Highway 75 (US 75); the first half is also signed as US 64 and State Highway 51 (SH-51), and the latter half is known as the Cherokee Expressway. The 2.86-mile-long (4.60 km) freeway was first planned around 1957 with construction occurring into the 1970s before being fully open in 1981. I-444 was originally signed as such until 1995.
