Interstate 205 (abbreviated I-205) is a loop route that serves the Portland, Oregon-Vancouver, Washington metropolitan area. I-205 is officially the War Veterans Memorial Freeway and was formerly known as the East Portland Freeway in Washington and Oregon. I-205 loops east of downtown Portland and Vancouver, thus serving as a bypass route. I-205 is one of the small number of three-digit interstates to cross over into another state. The northern terminus begins north of Vancouver in the suburb of Salmon Creek. The southern terminus is near the Portland suburb of Tualatin.

Interstate 205 is the Interstate that provides access to Portland International Airport (PDX).

Along the I-205 right-of-way in Portland is the unfinished I-205 Transitway between SE Foster Rd. and NE Columbia Blvd. The section between NE Columbia Blvd. and the I-205/I-84 junction is currently part of the MAX Red Line, and the section from E Burnside St. to SE Foster Rd. will be used as part of the future route for the next MAX route, the Green Line.

I-205 intersects Interstate 84, U.S. Route 30 (the main route, as well as Business Loop and By-pass route), Route 212, Route 213, Route 214, State Route 14, State Route 500, and State Route 501.
