Secondary Highway 545, commonly referred to as Highway 545, was a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. This 33.9-kilometre (21.1 mi) highway connected Highway 541 at Bailey Corners near Garson with the now-abandoned community of Milnet, passing through Hanmer and Capreol. It followed what is now Municipal Road 85 (Radar Road), Municipal Road 84 (Capreol Road, Dennie Street, Sellwood Avenue, and Moose Mountain Mine Road), and Milnet Road. The route featured a concurrency with Highway 69 between Hanmer and Capreol.
Highway 545 was first designated in 1956, along with many other secondary highways in Ontario. It existed until the formation of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury—now known as Greater Sudbury—in 1973, after which it became the equivalent of a county road. Today it is known in various sections as Sudbury Municipal Road 84, Sudbury Municipal Road 85, Sellwood Avenue, Millnet Road and Highway 806.
