State Route 772 is a north-south state highway in the south-central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at State Route 73 in Rarden, though signage shows it starting at mile marker 10. Leaving Rarden, the route increases elevation to Mount Joy, the highest point in Scioto County. Into Pike County, the route is briefly concurrent with State Route 32 and subsequently State Route 124.
