State Route 785 (SR 785) is a short east–west state highway in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The western terminus of SR 785 is at SR 247 7.75 miles (12.47 km) north of Seaman in the community of Fairfax. Its eastern terminus is at its junction with SR 73 approximately nine miles (14 km) west of Sinking Spring in the community of Belfast.
Established in the late 1930s, SR 785 is a short connector route between SR 247 and SR 73 in rural southern Highland County southeast of Hillsboro.
All of SR 785 is situated within the rural Jackson Township in southern Highland County. The state highway is not included within the National Highway System.
SR 785 begins at the intersection of SR 247 and Fair Ridge Road (County Road 3). Heading southeast from there, the route passes a few homes and into a patch of woods. The highway turns east at Greenbriar Road, then bends to the northeast, and then more east-northeasterly as it emerges from the forest and into a landscape dominated by open farmland. After passing the Young Road intersection, SR 785 goes amid a small patch of woods, then re-emerges into open farmland as it curves to the east. Just after Locust Road, the highway bends to the northeast, nudging some patches of trees alongside the roadway to the southeast. SR 785 intersects Storer Lane, then follows an S-curve going east-northeast and back to the northeast. The highway enters into a residential area just prior to where it meets SR 73, which marks its endpoint.
