State Route 685 (SR 685) is a short east–west state highway in southeastern Ohio, a U.S. state. The western terminus of SR 685 is at SR 78 in the village of Buchtel. Its eastern terminus is at SR 13 approximately one mile (1.6 km) southwest of Jacksonville.
Existing in the northern portion of Athens County, SR 685 functions as a connector route between SR 78 and SR 13 as it makes its way through the Wayne National Forest. The designation of SR 685 came into being in the early 1960s, replacing what had been known as SR 675, due to the construction of Interstate 675 in the Dayton vicinity, and the fact that Ohio does not duplicate numbers among different types of highways.
