New York State Route 153 (NY 153) is a 3.03-mile (4.88 km) long north–south state highway located in the eastern suburbs of Rochester, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at NY 96 in the village of Pittsford. Its northern terminus is at an interchange with NY 441 in the town of Penfield. Over the course of its routing, NY 153 passes through the towns of Pittsford, East Rochester (also village), Perinton, and Penfield. NY 153 connects to Interstate 490 (I-490) twice in East Rochester by way of NY 31F and West Commercial Street.
All of NY 153 in Pittsford and East Rochester was originally designated as part of NY 253 in the 1930s. From the 1930s to the 1960s, NY 253 followed North Washington Street north to NY 441 in Penfield. In the 1960s, the bridge carrying NY 253 over Irondequoit Creek was closed, and NY 253 was rerouted to use Linden Avenue and Whitney Road instead. The route was realigned again by 1971 to follow the new Panorama Trail South to an interchange with NY 441. NY 253 was truncated south to Pittsford town at some point in the latter half of the 1980s, at which time its former routing from Pittsford village to Penfield was assigned the NY 153 designation.
