State Route 690 (SR 690) is a north–south state highway in southeastern Ohio, a U.S. state. The southern terminus of SR 690 is at the concurrency of US 50 and SR 32 about 6+1⁄2 miles (10.5 km) east of Athens in the community of Canaanville. Its northern terminus is at SR 550 approximately two miles (3.2 km) west of Amesville.
This two-lane state highway was established in the late 1930s. Running entirely within Athens County, SR 690 passes through Wayne National Forest and serves as a quicker route connecting SR 550 to the Athens Bypass.
