State Route 227 (SR 227) is a very short connecting state highway that runs south-north through portions of Treutlen County in the east-central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It runs for approximately 2.2 miles (3.5 km).

Route description

SR 227 begins at an intersection with SR 46 east of Soperton. Here, the roadway continues as unsigned Treutlen County Road 141 (Sweet Onion Road). SR 46 heads northwest to the Treutlen County Airport and Soperton. It heads north, intersecting Treutlen CR 60 (Gillis Tennant Road). Then, it intersects Treutlen CR 45 (Joe Moxley Road, which heads northeast) and Corsey Grove Way (which heads southwest). A short distance to the north-northwest, it meets its northern terminus, an intersection with US 221/SR 56, northeast of Soperton.[1]
