Maryland Route 769 (MD 769) is a collection of unsigned state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These three highways are sections of old alignment of MD 201 and the former MD 205 in Bladensburg. MD 769D and MD 769C form the old alignment of MD 201 between a dead end next to the Baltimore–Washington Parkway and MD 450. MD 769B forms part of the old alignment of MD 205 in Bladensburg and Edmonston. The portions of MD 201 and MD 205 that are now part of MD 769 were constructed in the mid- to late 1920s and widened in the early 1940s. Modern MD 201 was constructed in the early to mid-1950s; many of the bypassed sections later became portions of MD 769.
MD 769D is the designation for 52nd Avenue, a 0.29-mile (0.47 km) section of old alignment of MD 201 on the southern edge of Bladensburg. The state highway begins at a dead end adjacent to the Baltimore–Washington Parkway. MD 769D heads north through an industrial area, crossing the Alexandria Extension of CSX's Capital Subdivision at grade before reaching its northern terminus at MD 201 (Kenilworth Avenue). MD 769C continues north along the same general alignment, but the two segments of MD 769 meet MD 201 at separate intersections 0.06 miles (0.097 km) apart.
MD 769C is a 1.06 mi (1.71 km) segment of old alignment of MD 201 in Bladensburg. The state highway begins as 52nd Avenue a short distance north of MD 769D's northern terminus. MD 769C heads north through an industrial area, then enters the town of Bladensburg and curves to the west through a residential area. The state highway meets Quincy Street on a tangent and assumes that name, then turns north and becomes 48th Street at the intersection with an unnamed road that provides access to northbound MD 201. After an intersection with MD 450 (Annapolis Road), MD 769C reaches its northern terminus at another interchange with northbound MD 201.
