State Route 547 (SR 547) is an east–west state highway in north central Ohio, a U.S. state. The highway's western terminus is at SR 269 approximately four and a half miles (7.2 km) south of Bellevue. The eastern terminus of SR 547 is at the concurrency of U.S. Route 20 (US 20) and SR 18 in downtown Monroeville.
Located in western Huron County, State Route 547 traverses primarily rural terrain excepting the easternmost stretch of the highway through Monroeville. It came into being in the late 1930s, and has not seen any significant changes since that time. SR 547's western endpoint is situated on the Seneca-Huron county line, which serves as the western boundary of the historic Firelands and Connecticut Western Reserve.
The entirety of SR 547 is situated within Huron County. No portion of this route is included as a part of the National Highway System.
SR 547 begins at the intersection of SR 269 and Township Road 186 on the Seneca-Huron county line approximately four and a half miles (7.2 km) south of Bellevue. The vast majority of SR 547's path is in rural farm country, passing a house here and there along the way. Heading due east from the SR 269 intersection into Sherman Township, the state highway arrives at its junction with SR 4 just 0.74 miles (1.19 km) from its starting point. East of there, the route turns northeasterly, and as it passes a large clump of trees that abut the north side of the road, it meets Hayman Road. Crossing into Lyme Township, SR 547 next crosses Section Line Road. Continuing northeast through the vast farmland, the state highway passes intersections with Dogtown Road, Sand Hill Road and Townline Road, just past which the route enters Ridgefield Township. SR 547 then crosses T-intersections with Williams Road and Farr Road, after which it enters the village of Monroeville. At that point, the highway picks up the name Monroe Street, and passes into a backdrop that is primarily residential. After crossing the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway tracks, the highway arrives at its junction with SR 99, a four-way stop intersection. SR 547 continues easterly through the residential portion of Monroeville prior to entering the central business district, where it comes to an end at the signalized intersection it has with the concurrency of US 20 and SR 18.
