South Dakota Highway 15A (SD 15A) was a short state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of South Dakota. This highway was originally part of the SD 15 mainline. In the early 1950s, the alignment of SD 15 was adjusted to add a segment between Milbank and Wilmot. The old alignment, between U.S. Route 12 (US 12) and Wilmot, was redesignated as SD 15A. In 1976, when many of the suffixed state routes were eliminated, this route was redesignated as SD 123.

South Dakota Highway 15Y (SD 15Y) was a short state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of South Dakota. It was established in the early 1960s, from US 12 in Big Stone City to SD 15 southwest of Shady Beach. In 1976, it was redesignated as SD 109.
