State Route 167 (SR 167) is a 14.08-mile-long (22.66 km) east–west state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its western terminus is at the northern end of the SR 46 and SR 307 concurrency in Jefferson, and its eastern terminus is at the Pennsylvania state line about 13 miles (21 km) south of Conneaut, where Pennsylvania Route 198 (PA 198) continues east. The route was designated in 1923, and has been rerouted three times since.
SR 167 starts at SR 46/307, on the northern edge of Jefferson. The route, known as Beech Street, travels east and crosses a railroad owned by Ashtabula, Carson & Jefferson. SR 167 shifts slightly northeastward, and three miles later, it meets SR 11 at a diamond interchange. Later, the road intersects SR 193 in the middle of Denmark Township. After intersecting Stanhope–Kelloggsville Road, the route moves north a bit, then slowly moves back south and continues eastward. At the small village of Pierpont, SR 167 becomes concurrent with SR 7, and heads north for 1 mile (1.6 km). After that, the route starts heading east again, and becomes PA 198 after crossing the Ohio–Pennsylvania state line. The majority of the road is next to farmland. The highest traffic count is in Jefferson, where 2,260 vehicles travel on the road on average. The lowest traffic count is near the state line, where 330 vehicles travel on the road on average.
