State Highway 56 (SH 56) is a state highway Grayson and Fannin counties in north-central Texas, United States. This highway was designated in 1974 to replace U.S. Highway 82 (US 82) when it was rerouted north of Whitesboro and Sherman.[2] SH 56 has been extended further since then as the US 82 bypass continued to be extended north of Bonham and Honey Grove.
Through Sherman, SH 56 operates on a pair of one-way streets, Lamar (eastbound) and Houston (westbound).
