Maryland Route 373 (MD 373) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Accokeek Road, the highway runs 8.16 miles (13.13 km) from MD 210 in Accokeek east to Brandywine Road just east of MD 5 in Brandywine. Except for its westernmost segment that was built around 1930 as part of MD 224, MD 373 was designated and improved as a modern highway in the mid-1950s.
MD 373 begins as Livingston Road at an intersection with MD 210 (Indian Head Highway) in Accokeek. Livingston Road continues west as unsigned MD 810J a short distance before becoming a county highway. MD 373 heads east as a two-lane road that continues straight on Accokeek Road when Livingston Road curves north. The highway turns north at its three-way intersection with Bealle Hill Road and turns east again at its second T junction with Bealle Hill Road. MD 373 continues east through the hamlet of Danville and curves around Lake Ruth, an impoundment of Burch Branch of Piscataway Creek. The highway intersects MD 5 (Branch Avenue) just west of its eastern terminus at a T intersection with county-maintained Brandywine Road in the hamlet of T.B. west of the center of Brandywine. This junction is just west of Brandywine Road's junction with unsigned MD 631 (Old Brandywine Road). Brandywine Road becomes a state highway, MD 381, at its intersection with U.S. Route 301 (Robert Crain Highway) to the east.
