Oregon Route 222 is an Oregon state highway, consisting of two disconnected sections.

The north section runs from OR 126 Business in Springfield to OR 58 near Pleasant Hill. Incorporating a temporary location for part of its route, the north section is 8.00 miles long and runs northwest to southeast.

The south section runs from a point on Cloverdale Road north of Rodgers Road near Creswell, along Cloverdale Road, to OR 99 in Creswell. It is 3.16 miles long and runs generally east-west.

OR 222 is known as the Springfield-Creswell Highway, which is Highway 222.

Both sections run entirely within Lane County. If connected, they would probably be considered to run north-south, as they would form the eastern half of a loop.

OR 222 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned, and, as of May 2005, was unsigned.
