Alberta Provincial Highway No. 54,[2] commonly referred to as Highway 54, is an east–west highway located in central Alberta. It is 70 kilometers (43 mi) in length, starting at Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail), 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) west of the Village of Caroline, and ending at exit 365 of Highway 2 (Queen Elizabeth II Highway) at the south end of the Town of Innisfail.[3][4]

Highway 54 originally passed through Innisfail's central business district along 50 Street, ending at Highway 2 / Highway 590 interchange. In 2008, Highway 54 was aligned along a new bypass and linked to Highway 2 at an interchange that was previously opening in 2005.[5]
