State Route 502 (SR 502) is an east–west state highway in western Ohio, a U.S. state. The western terminus of the highway is at the Indiana state line approximately six miles (9.7 km) south of Union City, with the road continuing into the Hoosier State being locally maintained Greenville Pike. The eastern terminus of the highway is in downtown Greenville at a traffic circle where it meets a conglomeration of four other state highways: SR 49, 118, 121 and 571.
SR 502 was established in the late 1930s. It primarily connects rural areas of west-central Darke County with the county seat of Greenville.
The entirety of SR 502 is located within Darke County. The state highway is not included as a component of the National Highway System.
SR 502 begins at the Indiana state line at the State Line Road intersection. The road entering into the intersection from the Indiana side is locally maintained Greenville Pike. SR 502 runs due east from the state line into Washington Township, traversing primarily rolling farmlands, with the occasional house and clump of trees along the way. The highway passes Stocksdale Road and Springhill Road, then passes by a more concentrated area of trees prior to intersecting Hillgrove-Southern Road. The highway alternates passing through farmland and a small forest before re-emerging into open farmland as it makes its way to Palestine-Union City Road. For the next two miles (3.2 km), SR 502 passes some small patches of trees while primarily passing through open farm country. In that stretch, the highway intersects Noll Road and then goes on to meet New Madison-Coletown Road, where it crosses from Washington Township into Greenville Township.
