State Route 216 (SR 216) is a north–south state highway in the southeastern quadrant of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 216 is at a three-way stop T-intersection with SR 78 in Murray City. SR 216's northern terminus is also at a three-way stop T-intersection, this time with SR 93 in New Straitsville.
Established in the mid-1920s, SR 216 traverses heavily wooded terrain as it connects the villages of Murray City and New Straitsville. When it first appeared, SR 216 extended south to Nelsonville and north and east to Shawnee and Corning.
SR 216 runs through the far eastern end of Hocking County and the extreme southern end of Perry County. The route is not inclusive as a portion of the National Highway System.
The state highway begins at a three-way stop T-intersection with SR 78 in the village of Murray City, just west of the Hocking-Athens County Line. Known as Locust Street, SR 216 runs northerly a short distance through a residential area before departing the village, and entering into rural Ward Township. The highway travels through a predominantly forested landscape, passing the occasional house along the way. The highway heads northerly out of Murray City, then starts to bend to the northwest as it passes successive intersections with Township Road 21 and Spencer Hollow Road. Weaving its way in a northwesterly fashion through the woods, SR 216 crosses into Perry County.
