Pennsylvania Route 842 (PA 842) is a state highway in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The route runs from PA 841 in West Marlborough Township to U.S. Route 322 Business (US 322 Bus.) in downtown West Chester. PA 842 runs through rural areas with some development between PA 841 and West Chester as a two-lane undivided road. Along this stretch, the route forms a concurrency with PA 82 in Unionville, where it intersects the western terminus of PA 162. In West Chester, PA 842 is routed along one-way streets. PA 842 was first designated by 1928 between PA 82 in Unionville and US 122/PA 5/PA 62 in West Chester. The route was extended west to PA 841 in 1937.
