State Route 160 is a former Georgia state route in northern Clayton County and southwestern DeKalb County. Its western terminus was at U.S. 19/41 and S.R. 3 near Interstate 285, from which it proceeded in an east-southeasterly direction through Forest Park for approximately 2.0 miles to an intersection with S.R. 54 near Lake City. The route then turned north-northwest, joining with S.R. 54 for about 1.4 miles, then turned northeast for 2.3 miles before reaching its other end at U.S. 23/S.R. 42, again near I-285.
S.R. 160 was decommissioned in the mid-1990s, likely due to its proximity to S.R. 331, which was separated from S.R. 160 by little more than a set of railroad tracks in Forest Park. The segment between S.R. 54 and U.S. 23 still survives as S.R. 54 Connector.
For a time, it was uncertain whether the route had in fact been decommissioned in full due to an official Georgia Department of Transportation map of Clayton County dated 2005 continuing to label a portion of the route between S.R. 54 and the DeKalb County line as S.R. 160. However, that map was later updated and the label was changed to indicate the route as S.R. 54 Connector.

- Google Maps showing the Forest Park area - shows S.R. 160 between S.R. 54 and S.R. 42, also (when zoomed in farther) shows S.R. 160 overlapping S.R. 54, presumably as far as S.R. 331
