Solway is an unincorporated community in Knox County, Tennessee, United States. The United States Geographic Names System classifies Solway as a populated place. The area is located between Oak Ridge and Knoxville, just southeast of the Clinch River (Melton Hill Lake), which forms the Anderson County line. It lies on Oak Ridge Highway, also known as Tennessee State Route 62, just north of its intersection with Pellissippi Parkway. Beaver Creek flows through the area.

In 1999, Solway was proposed by Knox County and Oak Ridge planning officials to be included in a 1,000 acre area inside of Oak Ridge's urban growth boundary, which would have allowed the community to be annexed into the municipal limits of the city of Oak Ridge. However, the proposal was voted down shortly afterwards.{{cite web |title=Knoxville-Farragut-Knox County Growth Policy Plan |url=http://attachment.tacir.tn.gov/Growth/GrowthPlans/Knox.pdf |website=Tennessee Department of Transportation |publisher=Knoxville-Farragut-Knox County Growth Policy Coordinating Committee |access-date=November 30, 2020 |date=January 12, 2000 }}
