New York State Route 161 (NY 161) is an east–west state highway located in eastern Montgomery County, New York, in the United States. It extends for just over 7 miles (11 km) from an intersection with NY 30A in the town of Glen to a junction with NY 30 in the town of Florida. The route is a two-lane highway known as Mill Point Road, named for a small hamlet situated near NY 161's midpoint. At Mill Point, the road crosses Schoharie Creek. NY 161 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and has not been altered since.

NY 161 begins at a five-way intersection in the hamlet of Glen, located within the town of the same name. NY 30A heads southwest to northeast through the junction at a sharp angle, while Auriesville Road splits from NY 30A north of NY 161 and Logtown Road begins straight ahead from NY 161's west end. The route heads to the east as a two-lane highway named Mill Point Road, leaving the populated hamlet for more rural, open areas of the town. After crossing 1.6 miles (2.6 km) of rolling farmland, the highway intersects Noeltner Road by way of a Y intersection. The junction once served as the southern terminus of NY 288; however, it now marks the south end of County Route 164 (CR 164).
