State Route 155 (SR 155) is an east–west state highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The highway's western terminus is at SR 93 in Shawnee. Its eastern terminus is at a four-way stop intersection with SR 13 in Corning.
Established in the late 1920s, SR 155 serves as a connector route in southern Perry County. The two-lane route links Shawnee to Corning, and passes through the village of Hemlock at about the midpoint of the highway. The entirety of SR 155 passes through Wayne National Forest.
The entirety of SR 155 is located in the southern portion of Perry County. This route is not a part of the National Highway System.
State Route 155 begins at a four-way stop intersection in Shawnee where SR 93 forms the southern and western legs. Going east from that intersection, woods bound the highway to the south, while Shawnee's Main Street runs parallel to the state route immediately to the north, with the main portion of the village on the north side of Main Street. State Route 155 curves northeast and then starts to bend to the southeast, at which point Main Street converges with the highway. Thereafter, the state route intersects New England Hill Road, then rounds out curving to the southeast. Departing Shawnee, State Route 155 enters into Salt Lick Township and the Wayne National Forest. As such, the majority of the highway is bounded by forest on both sides, with some open space appearing from time to time. The highway trends generally east-southeast and then east, before reaching the Sulphur Springs Road intersection. Now bending to the southeast, the route passes a few houses prior to passing into Hemlock. Known as Sanders Street through the village, State Route 155 passes both woods and houses, and intersects Main Street before curving east.
