State Highway 172 (SH 172) is a state highway in Texas that connects Ganado to Olivia on the Gulf Coast. [1]
State maintenance and the SH 172 designation begin along the shore of Keller Bay in the Calhoun County community of Olivia.

SH 172 continues to the north and has a brief concurrency FM 616 in La Ward before turning slightly to the northwest. [3] It has a junction with SH 111 before entering Ganado along 3rd Street.
