State Highway 62 (SH 62) is a highway located in southeastern Texas. It runs 29.249 mi from SH 73/SH 87 near Orange to an intersection with U.S. Highway 96 (US 96), Business U.S. Highway 96 (US 96 Bus), and Farm to Market Road 1004 (FM 1004) in Buna. SH 62 was established in 1923, and its southern end was extended from US 90 to SH 73/SH 87 in 1962.

SH 62 begins at SH 73 and SH 87 between Orange and Bridge City. SH 73 is concurrent with SH 62 from the southern terminus to the intersection with Interstate 10 (I‑10) and US 90, where SH 73 ends. SH 62 continues its northward journey past this point, going through Mauriceville and Texla in Orange County, clipping the extreme southwest corner of Newton County, and, in Jasper County, traveling through the small community of Gist and ending at Buna.
