'''State Route 353''' ('''SR 353''') is an east–west state highway in southwestern Ohio, a U.S. state. Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 62 (US 62) about {{convert|4+1/2|mi|km|spell=in}} south of Russellville, and its eastern terminus is near the unincorporated community of Decatur at SR 125. The entire route is a two-lane highway, passing through farmland and woodland. The route was commissioned in the mid-1930s and was paved in the mid-1950s.
==Route description== SR 353 begins at an intersection with US 62, immediately north of US 68, in the unincorporated community of Redoak.
