Maryland Route 192 (MD 192) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 2.53 miles (4.07 km) from Summit Avenue in Kensington east to MD 97 in Forest Glen. MD 192 connects MD 185 with the Kensington station on MARC's Brunswick Line and MD 97 and Interstate 495 (I-495) with the Forest Glen station on the Washington Metro's Red Line. The highway was constructed from Forest Glen to Kensington in the mid-1920s. MD 192 also included three sections between MD 97 and U.S. Route 29 (US 29) in Four Corners built in the mid-1930s. The final segment east of MD 97 was removed from the state highway system in the late 1980s.

MD 192 begins on Plyers Mill Road at its intersection with Summit Avenue in the town of Kensington. The highway heads east along the two-lane municipally maintained street to its intersection with MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue), which meets the western end of MD 193 (University Boulevard) two blocks to the north. East of the MD 185 intersection, MD 192 becomes state maintained and veers southeast onto Metropolitan Avenue. At St. Paul Street, the highway passes the Kensington station on MARC's Brunswick Line, which follows CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision. MD 192 parallels the railroad southeast out of the town of Kensington. The highway curves east away from the tracks and continues on Capitol View Avenue, which has a sharp turn to the south then a more gentle turn southeast at Stoneybrook Drive. Stoneybrook Drive leads south across the railroad to the Washington D.C. Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park.
