Maryland Route 208 (MD 208) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 1.86 miles (2.99 km) from U.S. Route 1 Alternate (US 1 Alt.) in Cottage City north to MD 500 in Hyattsville. MD 208 connects the northwestern Prince George's County suburbs of Cottage City, Colmar Manor, Brentwood, and Hyattsville. The highway was built in the late 1910s and early 1920s and originally passed through Mount Rainier. The portion of MD 208 between US 1 Alt. and US 1 was originally MD 206; the northern portion of the highway was originally part of MD 209 and then MD 410. MD 208 was extended to MD 500 and removed from Mount Rainier in the late 1950s, and extended south through Cottage City around 1970.
