New York State Route 356 (NY 356) was an east–west state highway in Erie County, New York, in United States. The final western terminus of the route was at an intersection with U.S. Route 62 (US 62) on the Tonawanda–Amherst town line. Its eastern terminus was at a junction with NY 270 in the Amherst hamlet of Getzville. When NY 356 was first assigned in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, it began at NY 384 in the city of Tonawanda. It was truncated to US 62 in 1980 and removed entirely on January 7, 1988. The former routing of NY 356 east of the Tonawanda city limits is now maintained by Erie County.
NY 356 began at an intersection with NY 265 in the city of Tonawanda. It headed eastward on Young Street, then North Ellicott Creek Road, running along the northern edge of Ellicott Creek as it headed through the town of Amherst. NY 356 met Sweet Home Road, a local highway leading to the main campus of SUNY Buffalo, and crossed over Ellicott Creek shortly afterward. Not far to the northeast of the creek, North Ellicott Creek Road merged into Dodge Road. NY 356 continued east on Dodge Road to the hamlet of Getzville, where it ended at a junction with NY 270.
