State Route 103 (SR 103) is an east–west highway in the northern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its western terminus is at its interchange with Interstate 75 near Bluffton, and its eastern terminus is at State Route 61 just east of Willard. It passes through or close to the towns of Bluffton, Jenera, Arlington, Mount Blanchard, Carey, Sycamore, Chatfield, New Washington, and Willard.
Route 103 has two separate interchanges with Interstate 75. The first interchange is at Route 103's western terminus (I-75 Exit 140), south of downtown Bluffton. Route 103 traverses north and east from here, servicing downtown Bluffton, before its second interchange with the freeway (I-75 Exit 142). The two interchanges are 2½ miles (via Route 103) apart from each other.
State Route 103 is an original state highway that originally ran from Bluffton to Carey. In 1938, the eastern terminus of the route was extended to State Route 4 at Chatfield. In 1969, its eastern terminus was extended to its current location, replacing the now defunct route numbers 194 and 298.

“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
