New York State Route 122 (NY 122) is an east–west state highway in northern Franklin County, New York, in the United States. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 37 in the town of Westville. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with U.S. Route 11 (US 11) in the town of Burke. Near its midpoint, NY 122 has a short overlap with NY 30 in the town of Constable. NY 122 serves as a northerly bypass of the village of Malone, situated 6 miles (10 km) to the south.
NY 122 was assigned c. 1938 as a north–south connector between what is now NY 11B and US 11 in the nearby town of Bangor. It was extended northeast to Burke via Westville after the state acquired ownership of the Westville–Burke highway in 1980, and truncated to begin in Westville about 10 years later. Modern NY 122 follows what was originally designated New York State Route 188 during the 1930s.
NY 122 begins at an intersection with NY 37 in the Westville hamlet of Westville Center as an eastward continuation of County Route 19 (CR 19, Jewett Road). The route initially heads eastward from NY 37 as a rural, two-lane road before ducking to the southeast. After an intersection with Bird Road roughly 0.75 miles (1.21 km) from Westville Center, it continues on a southeasterly track for 2 miles (3.2 km), running alongside the Salmon River before curving eastward into the town of Constable. NY 122 soon enters the hamlet of the same name, where the undeveloped surroundings give way to a stretch of residences on both sides of the highway.
