Pennsylvania Route 274 (PA 274) is a 44-mile-long (71 km) state highway located in Franklin and Perry counties in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at PA 75 in the Fannett Township community of Doylesburg. The eastern terminus is at an interchange with U.S. Route 11 (US 11)/US 15 in Duncannon. PA 274 is a two-lane undivided road that runs through rural areas in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. The route heads northeast and crosses Conococheague Mountain, at which point it leaves Franklin County for Perry County. PA 274 continues through agricultural valleys and intersects PA 17 in Blain, PA 850 in Loysville and PA 233 and PA 74 in Green Park. In New Bloomfield, PA 274 intersects PA 34 and turns southeast for a concurrency with that route to Mecks Corner. From here, the route continues east to Duncannon.

PA 274 was designated in 1928 to run from PA 75 in Doylesburg east to PA 5 (now PA 34) in New Bloomfield while PA 5 was designated onto the road between New Bloomfield and Duncannon, running concurrent with PA 33 between Mecks Corner and Duncannon. In 1937, PA 274 was extended east from New Bloomfield to PA 14 (later US 11/US 15) in Duncannon, replacing those portions of PA 5 and PA 33. The eastern terminus at US 11/US 15 was rebuilt into an interchange in the 1950s.
