South Carolina Highway 165 (SC 165) is a 28.4-mile (45.7 km) state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It connects U.S. Route 17 (US 17) in Ravenel to US 17 Alternate in Summerville.
SC 165 begins at the entrance to Stevens Towing Co., Inc. along the banks of the Wadmalaw River, on Yonges Island. It heads west-southwest before curving to the northwest. In Meggett, it passes the city hall, before it intersects SC 162 in Hollywood. In Ravenel, it crosses over a CSX Transportation railway and intersects US 17 (Savannah Highway). After leaving Ravenel, the highway becomes a very rural route. It stays this way until it intersects SC 61 (Ashley River Road) just southwest of Summerville. It then transitions to a congested urban highway from that intersection until its northern terminus. A short distance later, it intersects SC 642 (Dorchester Road). It follows the Berlin G. Myers Parkway for the rest of its route. In Summerville, it intersects US 78 (East 5th North Street), before it curves to the northwest to meet its northern terminus, and intersection with US 17 Alternate (N. Main Street) and Berkeley Circle.
