New York State Route 172 (NY 172) is an 8.89-mile (14.31 km) state highway in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. The route begins at NY 117 in the village of Mount Kisco and ends in the hamlet of Pound Ridge at NY 137.
NY 172 begins at a large junction with NY 117 (Main Street) just south of downtown in the village of Mount Kisco. NY 172 proceeds eastward through Mount Kisco as South Bedford Road, a two-lane commercial street before leaving Mount Kisco for the town of Bedford. After crossing into Bedford, NY 172 becomes a two-lane road through dense woods before bending eastward into a small commercial stretch at West Patent Road. After West Patent, NY 172 makes a bend to the southeast, returning to the dense woods, which soon gets split by residences on both sides of the roadway. NY 172 continues winding its way southeast through the town of Bedford, soon entering exit 4 of I-684, which crosses over the highway through Bedford.
After I-684, NY 172 continues southeast as South Bedford Road, a short distance as the two-lane wooded road, before commercial businesses appear near Baldwin Road. At this junction, NY 172 turns northeast, proceeding towards the census-designated place of Bedford (also known as Bedford Village), passing the high school. At Clark Road, the route bends southeast, entering the downtown section, where it intersects with NY 22 (Old Post Road). NY 172 and NY 22 become concurrent, proceeding northeast through the village, becoming a two-lane commercial street near Hunting Ridge Mall. Near Washington Avenue, the surroundings become residential before entering the village green, where NY 22 proceeds north and NY 172 forks to the southeast on Pound Ridge Road.
