Pennsylvania Route 297 (PA 297) is a 6-mile-long (9.7 km) state highway located in York County, Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at PA 921 in Zions View. The northern terminus is at PA 262 in Cly. PA 297 is a two-lane undivided road in the northern section of York County. The route heads north along Susquehanna Trail a short distance to the west of Interstate 83 (I-83) before reaching an interchange with the highway and heading to the east of it. PA 297 turns northeast in Strinestown and crosses PA 382 before it comes to its northern terminus.

The portion of PA 297 along the Susquehanna Trail became a part of the namesake auto trail in 1920. The Susquehanna Trail was designated as PA 4 in 1924 and also as U.S. Route 111 (US 111) in 1926; the PA 4 designation was removed from US 111 in 1928. The section of the present route north of Strinestown was paved in the 1930s. US 111 was moved off the Susquehanna Trail and onto I-83 in the 1950s. The current alignment of the route was designated PA 295 in 1961. In December 2018, the route was redesignated PA 297 in response to the extension of I-295 into Pennsylvania.
