State Route 236 (abbreviated SR 236) is part of Maine's system of numbered state highways, located in the extreme southern part of the state. It runs for 15.8 miles (25.4 km) from an intersection with State Route 103 in Kittery to an intersection with State Route 9 in Berwick just east of the border with New Hampshire. Between Kittery and South Berwick, SR 236 is known as the Harold L. Dow Highway.
SR 236 is signed as a north-south route, but follows more of a southeast-to-northwest alignment.
The southern terminus of SR 236 is at the intersection of Whipple Road (SR 103), Woodlawn Avenue, and Shapleigh Road in Kittery, near the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gate 2. It follows Shapleigh Road, then Rogers Road, to the Kittery Traffic Circle, where it connects to US 1, US 1 Bypass, and Old Post Road. The rotary marks the beginning of the Dow Highway. Passing under US 1 Bypass and over I-95, the route heads along the former right-of-way of the B&M Railroad until intersecting with SR 4 in South Berwick at the northern end of the Dow Highway. SR 236 runs briefly with SR 4 through downtown South Berwick, then splits off to follow Berwick Road into downtown Berwick, along Allen Street to its northern terminus at SR 9 near the New Hampshire state line. Less than a quarter mile west, SR 9 crosses into Somersworth, New Hampshire and becomes New Hampshire Routes 9 and 236.
