Pennsylvania Route 737 (PA 737) is a state highway in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The route runs from U.S. Route 222 (US 222) in the borough of Kutztown north to PA 143 in Albany Township. PA 737 heads north from an interchange with US 222 north of Kutztown on Krumsville Road. It continues north through a small part of Maxatawny Township into Greenwich Township. The road features an interchange with Interstate 78 (I-78)/US 22 in the village of Krumsville. PA 737 then heads northwest into Albany Township, where it ends at PA 143 near the village of Kempton.
PA 737 was assigned to a formerly unnumbered road between Kutztown and Kempton on March 8, 1962. Around that time, US 222 served as the southern terminus in downtown Kutztown. When the Kutztown Bypass was constructed in the 1970s, US 222 was realigned off of Main Street in Kutztown and onto the bypass. PA 737, at that point, ended at unnumbered Main Street until 1978, when the south end of the designation was truncated to its current location. Since then, the route has remained on the same alignment. Two bridges along the route between Kutztown and Krumsville were replaced in 2011. The interchange with I-78/US 22 was reconstructed between 2015 and 2019, shifting the route slightly to the east.
