Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia are the northern boundary states for Tennessee. Kentucky is along most of the "straight line" northern border, with Virginia in the northeast corner and Missouri along the upper western border.

The northern border is mainly near the 36° 38' 30" parallel for most of the state. However, this is higher along part of the border with Virginia, and drops lower to 36° 30' N between Kentucky Lake (Tennessee River) and the Mississippi River, yielding some territory to Kentucky. There is a "notch" at the Misissippi where part of Missouri is east of a loop belonging to Kentucky, rather than contiguous Tennessee.
