Mississippi Highway 436 (MS 436) is a short state highway in western Mississippi, entirely in Washington County. It runs about 11 miles from Eastside Lake Washington Road in Glen Allan to U.S. Route 61 near Percy, traveling east to meet MS 1 in Hampton, then turning northeast and eventually east toward US 61. The road crosses Steele Bayou and runs along the edge of the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge before ending at US 61.

History: A gravel road in the area was built in the 1930s and paved by 1948. MS 436 was created in 1957 for a segment from US 61 to near the Washington–Sharkey county line, extended west to Glen Allan in 1958, and by 1967 the section east of US 61 was removed. The highway has remained essentially the same since, and it is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
