Fairfield Drive is a major thoroughfare in Middle and West Pensacola. Although Fairfield is oriented east-west for most of its length, it carries a north-south designation as a Florida State Road (727 & 295).
Fairfield Drive's southern terminus is in a residential block south of Gulf Beach Highway at the shore of Bayou Grande. Going northward, at Gulf Beach Highway Fairfield begins carriage of Florida State Road 727. North of Lillian Highway, Fairfield takes a decidedly easterly turn, and continues to a complex interchange with New Warrington Road just east of Mobile Highway. Also east of Mobile Highway the road is four-laned.
It is at that point which Florida State Road 727 terminates and east of the interchange Fairfield carries Florida State Road 295. South of the interchange, SR 295 is carried by New Warrington Road. Fairfield continues east until it terminates at 12th Avenue in East Pensacola. The Florida State Road 295 designation terminates a few blocks prior at Ninth Avenue.
Historically, Fairfield Drive was known as Pottery Plant Road.
