State Route 571 (SR 571) is an east–west state highway in west-central Ohio, part of a statewide road transportation system. It indirectly connects the cities of Union City and Greenville with Springfield via a final 10.7 miles (17.2 km) on U.S. Route 40. State Route 571 has many curves throughout its length, including dangerously sharp ones where many accidents have occurred, especially near the unincorporated village of Coletown in Darke County and east of Tipp City at State Routes 201 and 202.
State Route 571 starts in the Indiana/Ohio border town of Union City. To the west, it turns into Indiana State Route 28, which goes west toward Albany and Alexandria, Indiana. To the east, 571 goes southeast through Hill Grove and Coletown, and then parallels Greenville Creek into Greenville. From Greenville it continues southeast through Painter Creek and Laura to West Milton where it turns due east, passes over Interstate 75 to Tipp City and New Carlisle. About 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of New Carlisle, Route 571 meets U.S. Route 40, the eastern terminus of the state route.
Although no longer a state route, the road keeps on going across US 40 as County Highway 303 "Medway-Carlisle Road" in Clark County. The road continues south, through the village of Medway and further on it turns into the northern terminus of I-675 at I-70.
