Alaska Route 7 (abbreviated as AK-7) is a state highway in the Alaska Panhandle of the U.S. state of Alaska. It consists of four unconnected pieces, serving some of the Panhandle communities at which the Alaska Marine Highway ferries stop, and connecting to the Alaska Highway in Yukon via the Haines Highway.

Route description

According to Alaska's supplement to the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, AK-7 follows (from south to north):^[2]

• South Tongass Highway, North Tongass Highway (Ketchikan)
• Nordic Drive, Mitkoff Highway (Petersburg)
• Glacier Highway, Egan Drive (Juneau)
• Haines Highway, Haines to Border

No other segments are shown on maps.^{[3][4][5][6][7]}

The Alaska Marine Highway ferry service connect the segments, but the ferry ports are for most parts not located at the endpoint of each segment, so many of the endpoints are dead ends.
