State Route 822 (SR 822) is an unsigned east–west state highway in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The short route was designated in 1990. Its western terminus is at the intersection of 7th Street and the on-/off-ramps for U.S. Route 22 (US 22), where it serves as a connection between the U.S. Route and SR 7, the route's eastern terminus. The whole route is in Steubenville, after multiple truncations due to the demolition of Fort Steuben Bridge.

SR 822 starts at 7th Street on University Boulevard, where it immediately meets US 22 east at an interchange with on-/off-ramps. SR 822 then passes through 6th Street, before ending at SR 7 at a T-intersection, which later becomes concurrent with US 22. SR 822 has open fields and ramps north of it, and businesses south of it.{{Bing maps|url=http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=40.374391~-80.612832&lvl=18&dir=0&sty=r&rtp=pos.40.373661_-80.613572_near%20N%207th%20St%2C%20Steubenville%2C%20OH%2043952___e_~pos.40.375188_-80.612011_near%20OH-7%20S%20%26%20University%20Blvd%2C%20Steubenville%2C%20OH%2043952___a_&mode=D&rtop=0~0~0~&form=LMLTCC|title=Ohio State Route 822|access-date=October 24, 2013}}
