State Route 296 (SR 296) is a south–north state highway located in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It functions like a western bypass of Wrens. The highway travels from US 1/US 221/SR 4/SR 17 north of Louisville to SR 17 northwest of Wrens.
SR 296 was formerly part of SR 16, which used to travel southeast of Warrenton. When SR 16 was shifted southward, it was redesignated as SR 16 Connector (SR 16 Conn.). The connector, which only existed for about a year, was redesignated as SR 296.
