State Route 608 is a north–south state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at State Route 528 about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Middlefield. The northern terminus is at Ravenna Road (Lake County Road 360, former State Route 44) about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Painesville.
