Ohio State Route 691 (SR 691, OH 691) is a north–south state route in southern Ohio. The entirety of SR 691 is within Athens County. Its southern terminus is at OH 56 about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of New Marshfield, and its northern terminus is at an interchange with US 33 and SR 78 in Nelsonville.
SR 691 commences at a T-intersection with OH 56 approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of the hamlet of New Marshfield in Athens County's Waterloo Township. For the majority of its journey, this two-lane highway winds its way through the woods, passing by the occasional field and house. SR 691 starts out trending in a northeasterly direction, then turns to the north as it approaches Township Highway 556. Continuing northerly, SR 691 eventually bends to the northeast, and passes through a succession of three intersections in a row: Five Points Road (Athens County Road 3 to the southeast), Dowler Ridge Road (County Road 3 to the northwest) and Campbell Road (to the east). Next, SR 691 bends to the north, then follows an elongated reverse curve that takes the highway east, and then back to the north. SR 691 turns to the northeast, and then curves to the northwest as it intersects Vore Ridge Road (County Road 22). The highway next meets Hamley Run Road, then turns to the northeast. SR 691 follows this northeasrly trend for a period, then turns to the east, intersecting Perry Ridge Road as it briefly straddles the boundary between Waterloo Township and York Township. Upon intersecting Salem Road (County Road 9), SR 691 turns north into York Township.
