New York State Route 163 (NY 163) is an east–west state highway in Montgomery County, New York, in the United States. It runs in the shape of a C from an intersection with NY 5S and NY 80 in the village of Fort Plain to a junction with NY 10 in the town of Canajoharie. With the exception of its eastern terminus, NY 163 is not signed with directions. Reference markers indicate its terminus in Fort Plain to be its western, although the route heads nearly due southward until Sprout Brook. Approaching that hamlet, it is named Cherry Valley Road, and when NY 163 turns left to head eastward, County Route 82 (CR 82) continues that road name directly to Cherry Valley. In Fort Plain, NY 163 follows Kellogg and Douglas streets. NY 163 is a two-lane highway for its entire length. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and originally continued north to the village of Canajoharie via NY 10.
NY 163 begins at an intersection with NY 5S and NY 80 (Main Street) in the village of Fort Plain. The route heads southwest along Main Street through Fort Plain, overlapping with NY 80 as it passes multiple commercial businesses near the village center. At Kellogg Street, NY 80 and NY 163 separate, with the former continuing along Main Street and the latter turning southward onto Kellogg Street. After crossing over Otsquago Creek, NY 163 intersects with Clinton Avenue, where the route turns west along the creek. At the junction with Garfield Street, the name changes to Douglass Street, which runs alongside the Otsquago through a residential section of Fort Plain. Just after the junction with Honey Hill Road, the route crosses into the town of Minden, changing names to Cherry Valley Road.
