Pennsylvania Route 347 (PA 347) is a 11-mile-long (18 km) state highway located in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at State Route 6011 (SR 6011) at Green Ridge Street in Dunmore. The northern terminus is at PA 524 in Scott Township. The route runs through suburban areas to the northeast of Scranton, serving Dunmore, Throop, Olyphant, and Blakely. From here, PA 347 heads north through rural areas of farms and woods to its northern terminus. The route has interchanges with Interstate 81 (I-81)/U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in Dunmore and US 6 Business (US 6 Bus.) in Blakely and an intersection with PA 632 in Scott Township.

The portion of the route south of Blakely became a part of US 106/PA 7/PA 19 in 1926 and US 6 in 1928 before becoming unnumbered by 1930. PA 347 was designated in 1928 between US 6 (Main Street) in Blakely and PA 147/PA 247 in Montdale. By 1930, the route was realigned to run from US 6 (Main Street) in Dickson City northwest to PA 407 in Wallsville. The south end was cut back to a realigned US 6 (now US 6 Bus.) north of Dickson City in the 1950s. In 1961, the north end was cut back to PA 632, with PA 524 replacing the east-west section running to PA 407. PA 347 was extended south to US 11/PA 307 at Blakely and Green Ridge streets in Dunmore in the 1960s. The south end was moved to SR 2020 at Drinker and Blakely streets and the north end was extended to PA 524 by 1990. In 2017 the south end was extended back to the intersection of SR 6011 at Green Ridge St.
