State Route 113 (SR 113), also known as Burnt Mountain Road, is a Washington state highway in Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula. It connects U.S. Route 101 (US 101) at Sappho to SR 112 near Clallam Bay, traveling north along Beaver Creek and the Pysht River for 10 miles (16 km).
The highway follows a wagon road constructed in 1892 and maintained by the county government until it was transferred to the state highway system in 1937. It was part of Secondary State Highway 9A (SSH 9A), which connected Sappho to Port Angeles along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The north–south section of SSH 9A was removed from the state highway system in 1955 and was transferred back to Clallam County and renamed Burnt Mountain Road.
The county road gained Forest Highway status in 1961 and was rebuilt and paved with federal and state funds over the following decade. Burnt Mountain Road was re-added to the state highway system in 1991 as SR 113, reusing a previous designation that had been replaced by SR 20 in 1973.
