Pennsylvania Route 616 (PA 616) is a 14.9-mile-long (24.0 km) state highway located in York County in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at PA 851 in Railroad. The northern terminus is at U.S. Route 30 (US 30) in West Manchester Township. PA 616 is a two-lane undivided road that passes through rural areas in southwestern York County, serving the communities of Glen Rock, Seven Valleys, and New Salem. The route forms a concurrency with PA 216 in Glen Rock and intersects the western terminus of PA 214 in Seven Valleys.

The section of road between Glen Rock and US 30 was designated as part of PA 216 in 1928. In 1930, PA 216 was realigned and PA 616 was designated onto the former alignment between PA 216 in Glen Rock and US 30. PA 616 was extended south from Glen Rock to the Maryland border south of New Freedom, heading south to Railroad before running along 2nd Street, Main Street, and Front Street. The south end of the route was cut back to PA 516 (now PA 851) in Railroad in the 1950s, with PA 516 (later PA 851) replacing the route between New Freedom and Railroad.
