State Route 28 (SR 28) is a 25.7-mile-long (41.4 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Georgia. It exists in two distinct segments separated by the northern segment of South Carolina Highway 28 (SC 28), which connects the two segments. The southern segment is entirely within the Augusta metropolitan area. The northern segment is located in the northeastern corner of the Chattooga River District of the Chattahoochee–Oconee National Forest. SR 28 consists of Georgia's segments of a multi-state Route 28 that includes two segments of SC 28 and one segment of North Carolina Highway 28 (NC 28). The northern segment is a south-to-north highway and the roadway it uses is unnamed. However, the southern segment is a west-to-east highway, and the roads it uses are known as Furys Ferry Road from the Furys Ferry Bridge at the South Carolina state line to the intersection with SR 104 Conn. in Augusta, Washington Road in the northern part of Augusta, John C. Calhoun Expressway, Greene Street, 5th Street, and Broad Street in downtown Augusta, and Sand Bar Ferry Road in the northeastern part of Augusta.

The southern segment was formerly SR 52. The northern segment was formerly SR 65 until 1932 and then SR 105 until 1937. In 1937, both SR 105 and SR 52 were redesignated as SR 28. It also used the entire length of Broad Street until after the completion of the John C. Calhoun Expressway. The portion of SR 28 between 15th Street and 13th Street was proposed as SR 736 before the John C. Calhoun Expressway was extended along SR 736's path, and SR 28 was shifted onto it.
