State Route 613 is an east-west state highway in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its western terminus is at the Indiana state line 4 miles west of Payne (the route once continued west in Indiana as State Road 14), and its eastern terminus is at State Route 12 in Fostoria.

From the Indiana state line, State Route 613 follows a generally easterly direction through small towns such as Payne, Oakwood, and Continental. It shares a route with State Route 634 for 2 miles before entering Continental. After Continental, the route continues east into Leipsic, then into McComb, where it shares a route with State Route 235 for a short distance.

It continues in an eastern direction, drifting north, through Van Buren, until it meets State Route 18 south of Bloomdale. State Route 613 and State Route 18 run concurrently for 10 miles, heading into Fostoria. When the routes meet up with U.S. Route 23 in Fostoria, State Route 18 splits, and State Route 613 continues through downtown Fostoria before ending at State Route 12.
