Minnesota State Highway 610 (MN 610) is an east–west freeway in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota; located in northern Hennepin County and southern Anoka County. The freeway currently connects U.S. Highway 169 (US 169) and U.S. Highway 10 (US 10). MN 610 crosses the Mississippi River on the Richard P. Braun Bridge between suburban Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids.

The freeway was authorized in 1975, and the currently open sections were completed by 2000. There is a segment that is planned to run westward to end at Interstate 94 (I-94), but current construction by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will only extend as far west as County Road 81 (CR 81) in Maple Grove.
