State Route 701 (SR 701, OH 701) is a 8.96-mile (14.42 km) east–west state highway in western Ohio, a U.S. state. The state highway's western terminus is at a T-intersection with SR 309 nearly 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of Ada. The eastern terminus of State Route 701 is at U.S. Route 68 (US 68) approximately 3.50 miles (5.63 km) southeast of Dunkirk.
Established in the late 1930s, SR 701 is a two-lane route that serves as an eastward continuation of SR 309, which runs due east out of Lima. SR 701 picks up along the same east–west alignment when SR 309 turns southeasterly in the direction of Kenton.
The entirety of SR 701 runs within rural territory in the northern half of Hardin County. It begins at a T-intersection with SR 309 in the extreme northern portion of Marion Township. The highway runs northeast a short distance before turning due east onto the boundary between Marion and Liberty Townships. For its entire distance, SR 701 passes through vast farmland. In addition, small patches of woods and a number of houses appear along the highway as well. SR 701 intersects County Road 65 (CR 65) and then CR 75, at which point it becomes the border between Cessna and Washington Townships. As it straddles the boundary between these two townships, SR 701 successively intersects Township Road 85 (TR 85) and TR 87, followed by split intersections with CR 95, TR 105, CR 115 and TR 125. Upon intersecting CR 135, SR 701 becomes the separation between Pleasant and Blanchard Townships. The highway crosses a CSX railway line, after which it meets TR 145 prior to arriving at its endpoint at US 68. Continuing to the east of US 68 following the end of SR 701 is CR 70.
