U.S. Route 62 (US 62) is part of the U.S. Highway System. US 62 travels from the United States–Mexico border at El Paso, Texas, to Niagara Falls, New York. In the U.S. state of New Mexico, US 62 extends from the Texas state line southwest of Whites City and ends at the Texas state line east of Hobbs.

Through New Mexico, US 62 is entirely concurrent with US 180. The highway continues past Carlsbad Caverns National Park and White's City into the city of Carlsbad. In Carlsbad, US 285 joins US 62/US 180 for approximately 2.2 miles (3.5 km), then heads east to Hobbs. US 62 comes within 12 miles (19 km) of the WIPP Plant while also coming across several State Highway termini: New Mexico State Road 360 (NM 360), NM 176, NM 243, NM 529, NM 483, NM 360, and NM 8 along the 70-mile (110 km) stretch. US 62 comes into Hobbs along Marland Boulevard. After coming close to Hobbs High School's Watson Stadium, US 62 leaves Hobbs going east to the Texas–New Mexico state line.
