State Route 114 (SR 114) is a 32.99-mile (53.09 km) state route that runs between the Indiana state line and Kalida in the US state of Ohio. Most of the route is a rural two-lane highway and passes through both farmland and residential properties. The highway was first signed in 1923 on much the same alignment as today. SR 114 was extended to its current eastern terminus in Kalida in 1926. The route was paved in three sections with the first completed in 1932 and the last one completed in 1939.
