Maryland Route 832 (MD 832) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Old Taneytown Road, the state highway runs 7.67 miles (12.34 km) from MD 140 near Taneytown east to MD 140 near Westminster. MD 832 is the old alignment of the highway now designated MD 140 in western Carroll County. The state highway was constructed as one of the original state roads in the mid-1910s and became part of MD 32 in 1927. MD 32 was replaced by MD 97 in 1956. MD 97 was moved to a new alignment between Westminster and Taneytown in the mid-1960s; the old alignment became part of MD 32 again. MD 832 replaced MD 32 on the highway in 1978, one year before the parallel highway became MD 140.
MD 832 begins at the Taneytown Roundabout just east of Taneytown. MD 140 heads northwest from the roundabout as Baltimore Street and east as Taneytown Pike. The fourth leg of the roundabout is Antrim Boulevard, which heads southwest as a county highway. MD 832 heads southeast as a two-lane road that passes through farmland and crosses Big Pipe Creek and Bear Branch. The state highway meets the northern end of MD 84 (Baust Church Road) and passes the eponymous church, Emmanuel Baust United Church of Christ, before heading through the hamlet of Tyrone. MD 832 continues through the village of Frizzelburg and the hamlet of Fountain Valley. The state highway closely parallels MD 140 (Taneytown Pike) for a short distance before MD 832 reaches its eastern terminus opposite Hughes Shop Road at Roop's Mill just west of Westminster.
