Route 33 is a state highway in the central part of the US state of New Jersey. The highway extends 42.0 miles (67.6 km), from an interchange with US 1 in Trenton, Mercer County, east to an intersection of Main Street (Route 71) in Neptune, Monmouth County. Route 33 is a major route through Central New Jersey, as it runs from the greater state capital area in the Delaware Valley Region, through a mixture of farmland, housing, and commercial developments in the lower Raritan Valley Region, en route to the greater Asbury Park area on the Jersey Shore. The route traverses through historic towns such as Hightstown, Monroe Township, Manalapan, Freehold, and Tinton Falls. There are several intersections on Route 33 with future developments.

Route 33 begins in Trenton as a two-lane residential street. It passes through central Mercer County, joining northbound US 130 in Robbinsville. It leaves the U.S. Highway in East Windsor and becomes a local town road into the borough of Hightstown. It turns east again as it passes the east end of the Route 133, where it becomes an arterial road with four lanes as it makes its way through Monmouth County toward the shore. Around the greater "Freeholds area", it becomes a freeway. It then crosses the Garden State Parkway's exit 100 in Tinton Falls and Route 18 in Neptune. Here, it is locally known as Corlies Avenue. Route 33 ends at Route 71 in Neptune. It has two concurrencies along the route, one with Route 34 and the second with US 130. It roughly parallels I-195, located further to the south.
