State Route 290 (SR 290) is a state highway in Humboldt County, Nevada. It serves to connect U.S. Route 95 to the community of Paradise Valley. The road was originally established as State Route 8B by the early 1930s.
State Route 290 begins at an intersection with US 95 approximately 22miles north of Winnemucca near the Santa Rosa Range. From the junction, the highway heads northeasterly through a valley known as Paradise Valley while paralleling Martin Creek, a fork of the Little Humboldt River. The road turns more northerly after about 12miles as it heads into the town of Paradise Valley.[2] Once inside the town, SR 290 turns east on Bridge Street to come to its northern terminus on a small bridge over Big Cottonwood Creek.[3]

The route number remained active until the renumbering of Nevada's state highways that began on July 1, 1976.[6] SR 8B became the present-day State Route 290 in that process, a change first seen on the 1978–1979 version of the state's highway map.[7]
