State Route 716 (SR 716) is a state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at SR 705 in the village of Osgood in northeastern Darke County. The northern terminus of SR 716 is at SR 274 in the village of Chickasaw in southeastern Mercer County. For its entire length, SR 716 runs parallel to, and approximately four miles (6.4 km) to the east of, U.S. Route 127.
The highway was assigned in 1937 on a routing from SR 705 in Osgood to an unnumbered highway in Franklin Township. The route was truncated to its current northern terminus in 1973. SR 716 has remained intact ever since.
