Maryland Route 333 (MD 333) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 9.79 miles (15.76 km) from the terminal of the seasonal Oxford–Bellevue Ferry in Oxford north to Washington Street in Easton within southwestern Talbot County. MD 333 was constructed between Trippe Creek and Easton in the 1910s. The highway was extended to Oxford in the late 1920s. In Easton, MD 333 was assigned to the southern part of Washington Street between 1948 and 1959 after U.S. Route 213 (later US 50) bypassed the town.
MD 333 begins at the Oxford terminal of the Oxford–Bellevue Ferry along the Tred Avon River. The state highway heads southeast through the town as Morris Street. At the southern end of the town at the head of a branch of Town Creek, Morris Street continues straight as a municipal street while MD 333 curves to the east and leaves the town via Oxford Road. The state highway heads east through farmland, beginning a curve to the northeast shortly before Almshouse Road. MD 333 begins to pass residential subdivisions and golf courses as the highway turns north and crosses Trippe Creek and Peach Blossom Creek. North of the latter creek, the state highway enters the town of Easton, then crosses Paper Mill Pond before intersecting MD 322 (Easton Parkway). MD 333 continues northeast as Peach Blossom Road past Easton Middle School to its northern terminus at a five-way intersection with Washington Street, Harrison Street, and Idlewild Avenue.
MD 333 is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from Peach Blossom Creek to MD 322 in Easton.
