Pennsylvania Route 447 (PA 447) is a 26.66-mile-long (42.91 km) north–south state route located in northeast Pennsylvania in the Pocono Mountains. The southern terminus of the route is at U.S. Route 209 (US 209) near an interchange with Interstate 80 (I-80) in Smithfield Township. The northern terminus is at PA 191 and PA 507 in Dreher Township. The route heads northwest from US 209 in Monroe County and forms a brief concurrency with US 209 Business (US 209 Bus.) in the northern part of East Stroudsburg. PA 447 continues and forms a concurrency with PA 191 in Analomink before winding north through rural areas. The route bends northwest and crosses PA 390 in Canadensis. PA 447 passes through a section of Pike County before entering Wayne County and reaching its northern terminus.

In 1928, the road was designated as PA 190 between US 209 (now US 209 Bus.) in East Stroudsburg and PA 90 (now PA 191) south of Analomink, PA 290 between PA 90 in Analomink and PA 390 in Canadensis, and as part of PA 390 between Canadensis and PA 90/PA 507 in Newfoundland. PA 290 was extended north to Newfoundland in the 1930s, replacing PA 390, which was realigned. PA 190 was decommissioned in the 1940s. The road between US 611 (now I-80) in East Stroudsburg and PA 90 in Analomink became a southern extension of PA 196 in the 1950s. PA 447 was designated onto its current alignment in the 1960s, replacing the southern portion of PA 196 and the entire length of PA 290.
