State Route 162 (SR 162) is a south–north state highway in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Most of its route is located in Newton County; the rest is in Rockdale County.
SR 162 begins at an intersection with SR 36 southwest of Stewart in Newton County, southeast of Atlanta. Traveling north, SR 162 meets SR 212 northwest of Stewart. Then, it meets SR 81 just southwest of Porterdale. It heads northwest to the extreme southeastern corner of Conyers, where it meets its northern terminus at Interstate 20/U.S. Route 278/SR 12. It serves as a major connector road for residents of southern Newton County and has seen significant growth in the past ten years.
