Mississippi Highway 496 (MS 496) is a 13.2-mile-long (21.24 km) east–west state highway in eastern Mississippi. The route starts at MS 19 near Meridian and travels eastwards through rural Lauderdale County. The road crosses the Alabama–Mississippi state line east of Alamucha, and it continues on as a county highway. The road that became part of the route was constructed in the 1920s, and it was designated as a state highway by 1957. Two projects in 1964 and 1974 resulted in the route being fully paved.
