Maryland Route 359 (MD 359) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Bypass Road, the state highway runs 1.09 miles (1.75 km) from a dead end adjacent to the junction of U.S. Route 13 (US 13) and US 113 north to MD 756 within Pocomoke City. What is now MD 359 and unsigned MD 250A was part of a bypass of the center of Pocomoke City for the southernmost part of US 113 that was constructed in the mid-1930s. US 113 originally followed MD 756 to its southern terminus at what is now US 13 Business. The bypass was itself bypassed in the 1970s when US 113 was expanded to a four-lane divided highway to end at US 13.
