Pennsylvania Route 371 (PA 371, designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 0371) is a 23.5 mi (37.8 km) long state highway located in Susquehanna and Wayne Counties. The western terminus is at an intersection with PA 171 and PA 374 near the community of Union Dale in Herrick Center. The eastern terminus is at the New York state line in Damascus Township where it crosses the Delaware River on the Cochecton–Damascus Bridge. It continues into Sullivan County, New York, as County Route 114 (CR 114), which heads east toward New York State Route 97 (NY 97).

PA 371 originates as a road cut in 1791 and later used for the Newburgh and Cochecton Turnpike in 1806. The new turnpike was finished in 1811 and renamed as the Great Bend and Newburgh Turnpike in accordance for the extension to Great Bend, Pennsylvania. The turnpike was abandoned in 1853. PA 371 was originally designated along the turnpike route in 1936 by the Department of Highways from Great Bend to Damascus. The route remained intact until 1954, when the route was truncated back to PA 171 in Herrick Center. The route was replaced by PA 374 and PA 848 in 1961.
