State Route 546 (SR 546) is a north–south state highway in the northern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 546 is at a T-intersection with SR 13 nearly two and a half miles (4.0 km) north of Fredericktown. Its northern terminus is at a signalized intersection with the U.S. Route 42 (US 42)/SR 97 concurrency in Lexington.
Established in the late 1930s, SR 546 is a two-lane highway that traverses through northwestern Knox County and southwestern Richland County. For most of its length, the highway passes through primarily rural terrain featuring a mix of forest and farmland.
SR 546's path takes it through northwestern Knox County and southwestern Richland County. This highway is not a part of the National Highway System, a network of routes deemed most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.
The highway begins at a T-intersection with SR 13 at a point approximately two and a half miles (4.0 km) north of Fredericktown in Middlebury Township. The majority of SR 546 passes through rural terrain, traveling amid vast farmland with a number of homes and the occasional patch of trees appearing alongside the highway. SR 546 departs from SR 13 heading to the northwest, passing its intersection with Yankee Street (County Road 55) before turning north at the Shafer Road intersection. It then crosses Gregg Road before meeting Leedy Road, where the highway crosses into Richland County.
