U.S. Route 30 (US 30) is a United States Numbered Highway that runs from Astoria, Oregon, to Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the state of Ohio, it is a major, 245-mile-long (394 km), east–west highway that runs through the northern section of the state. Overall, the highway runs through rural areas dominated by farm fields or woodlands; some segments are urban in character in the Mansfield and Canton areas.

The first transportation route along US 30 in the state was the Lincoln Highway. In the early 1920s, the corridor was two different state routes in the initial state route system. When the United States Numbered Highway System was first designated on November 11, 1926, the new US 30 replaced the other designations along its route. Since creation, the road has been moved and realigned several times. Starting in the early 1950s, various sections were upgraded to freeways, bypassing several cities and villages in the area. Future improvements to the route of US 30 includes a proposed easterly extension of the four-lane divided highway from Canton to State Route 11 (SR 11), near Lisbon.
