Route 147 is a 4.20-mile (6.76 km) state highway located in Cape May County in New Jersey, United States. It is a short connector between U.S. Route 9 (US 9) in Middle Township and North Wildwood at New York Avenue. West of US 9, the road continues to Route 47 as County Route 618 (CR 618, Indian Trail Road); this route along with Route 147 provides an alternate route to The Wildwoods from Route 47. East of New York Avenue, the route continues south through The Wildwoods as CR 621 (New Jersey Avenue). The route passes through mostly marshland along its journey, intersecting the Garden State Parkway at a partial interchange and CR 619 (Ocean Drive).

The portion of the route east of the intersection with the latter forms a part of Ocean Drive. When the 500-series county routes were established in New Jersey in the 1950s, what is now Route 147 became a part of CR 585, a route running from Lower Township north to Absecon. On November 1, 1971, Route 147 was designated along CR 585 between US 9 and the North Wildwood border. The route was extended to its current location in North Wildwood by the 1990s.
