Pennsylvania Route 441 (PA 441) is a 32-mile-long (51 km) state route that is located in central Pennsylvania in the United States. It primarily parallels the Susquehanna River through Lancaster and Dauphin counties.

The southern terminus is situated at PA 999 in the Manor Township hamlet of Washington Boro. The northern terminus is located at Paxton Street in Harrisburg.

This route heads north from Washington Boro to Columbia, where it intersects U.S. Route 30 (US 30). PA 441 continues up the river to Marietta and turns west, heading northwest past Bainbridge before leaving Lancaster County for Dauphin County. Here, the route continues north and passes along the east side of the former Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station before passing through the boroughs of Royalton and Middletown. Past Middletown, PA 441 heads away from the Susquehanna River and continues northwest, intersecting the PA 283 freeway indirectly and then Interstate 283 (I-283). The route passes through Oberlin before it comes to its northern terminus on the eastern edge of Harrisburg.

PA 441 was assigned in 1928 between Washington Boro and US 22 at Paxton Street in Harrisburg. The route was fully paved in the 1930s, with US 322/US 422 replacing US 22 along Paxton Street at the northern terminus. In the 1950s and 1960s, the sections of PA 441 between Columbia and Marietta, through Marietta, and through Bainbridge were bypassed. Also, PA 999 was extended to the southern terminus of the route in Washington Boro while US 322/US 422 were removed at the northern terminus in the 1960s. The route was realigned in the vicinity of a newly constructed interchange with I-283 in 1969, with the original alignment severed by I-283. A new alignment of the route closer to the Susquehanna River in Columbia bypassing city streets was completed in 2015 and the route was realigned in Middletown by 2021.
