New York State Route 165 (NY 165) is an east–west state highway in eastern New York in the United States. It serves as a connector between NY 166 in the Otsego County town of Roseboom and NY 10 in the Schoharie County town of Seward. NY 165 is a two-lane highway its entire length.
NY 165 begins at an intersection with NY 166 in the hamlet of Roseboom, within the town of the same name. NY 165 crosses through the hamlet for three blocks, passing several homes and south of Roseboom Cemetery. Turning southeast, the route crosses over Cherry Valley Creek through the town of Roseboom, crossing a fork with County Route 57 (CR 57). The two routes parallel southward before CR 57 merges back into NY 165 near Ziefle Road. Bending southeast through Roseboom, NY 165 passes through the rural town as a two-lane road, turning east a junction with Middlefield Road. Running south of Pleasant Brook, NY 165 crosses east through Roseboom, entering the hamlet of Pleasant Brook.
Pleasant Brook is a small hamlet, consisting of a junction with CR 50 (Winne Hollow Road). After Pleasant Brook, NY 165 turns southeast again, crossing through the dense wilderness and paralleling the physical Pleasant Brook. Continuing east through Roseboom, the route enters the hamlet of South Valley, where the route passes north of South Valley Pleasant Brook Cemetery. After the cemetery, the route passes north of CR 34, paralleling the route until they intersect in the center of South Valley. NY 165 through South Valley is a two-lane residential road along the base of Honey Hill. After South Valley, NY 165 continues eastward through the woods along Pleasant Brook, which soon opens into Plank Pond.
