Maryland Route 349 (MD 349) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Nanticoke Road, the state highway runs 22.32 miles (35.92 km) from a dead end in Nanticoke east to U.S. Route 50 Business (US 50 Business) in Salisbury. The first segment of MD 349 was constructed by 1910 west of Salisbury. The modern highway reached Quantico by 1919, Bivalve by 1925, and its western terminus by 1933. The only major change to MD 349 since is a realignment near Salisbury in the mid-1950s.

MD 349 begins at a dead end at Jones Creek near the confluence of the Nanticoke River and Wicomico River as the two rivers enter Tangier Sound. The state highway heads north as a two-lane road through the village of Nanticoke. North of Jesterville Road, MD 349 crosses Windsor Creek and Dunn Creek. The state highway continues through the hamlet of Bivalve, where the highway negotiates two sharp curves. MD 349 curves to the east as it leaves Bivalve, intersecting Tyaskin Road, which was formerly MD 541. The state highway intersects the west end of MD 352 (Capitola Road), then turns northeast past the Chesapeake Forest Lands and traverses Wetipquin Creek.
