Pennsylvania Route 844 (PA 844) is a 14.9-mile-long (24.0 km) state highway located in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The western terminus is the West Virginia state line in Independence Township where the road becomes West Virginia Route 27 (WV 27). The eastern terminus is at PA 18 in Washington. PA 844 is a two-lane undivided road that passes through rural areas in western Washington County, serving West Middletown. Along the way, the route intersects PA 50 and PA 231 in Independence Township and PA 331 in Canton Township. The road between West Middletown and Washington became a private turnpike called the Washington and West Middletown Turnpike in 1852. The entire stretch of PA 844 was designated as the westernmost part of PA 31 in 1928. It was renumbered to PA 844 in September 1964 when the western terminus of PA 31 was cut back to West Newton.
