State Route 794 (SR 794) was a short east–west state highway in west-central Ohio, a U.S. state. This route, which existed entirely within Clark County, and south of Springfield, served as an access road for the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport and the Springfield Air National Guard Base. The western terminus of SR 794 was at U.S. Route 68, and its eastern terminus was at SR 72. SR 794 was known as Bree Road from US 68 until it met Sparrow Road, which it followed east until its terminus at SR 72. Following a realignment of the road around the National Guard Base in 2013, the entire route was abandoned from the state highway system and is now a county-maintained road.
SR 794 began at an intersection with US 68 in Clark County's Green Township south of Springfield, and headed eastward. With the exception of a couple of houses just east of US 68, the south side of SR 794 straddled the northern portion of Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport for its entire length. Meanwhile, on the north side of SR 794, a few homes lined the highway just east of US 68, then farmland took over as the primary feature. SR 794 curved to the northeast, and came upon its intersection with Peacock Road. The highway passed by the main buildings and affiliated parking lots associated with the airport and base. Curving back to the east, SR 794 met Sparrow Road. East of there, the route passed by the northeastern end of the primary runway serving the airport, and ultimately arrived at its endpoint at SR 72. Continuing east of SR 72 after SR 794 terminated is Sparrow Road.
