New York State Route 249 (NY 249) is a 13.50-mile (21.73 km) long state highway located within Erie County, New York, in the United States. It runs east–west across southwestern Erie County from the shores of Lake Erie in the town of Farnham to the hamlet of Langford in the town of North Collins. The route was designated as NY 249 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York from Farnham to the village of North Collins. By the next year, the route was extended to its current length.
NY 249 begins at a junction with NY 5 (the Seaway Trail / Erie Road) and County Route 34 (CR 34; Lotus Point Road) in the village of Farnham, located in the town of Brant. NY 249 proceeds eastward away from NY 5 as a two-lane residential road, crossing east through Farnham as Commercial Street. The route crosses under tracks owned by CSX Transportation. After the tracks, NY 249 darts southeast, then east through Farnham as a two-lane residential roadway, crossing the eastern village line. In Brant, NY 249 drops the Commercial Street moniker in favor of Brant–Farnham Road, crossing an at-grade intersection with US 20 (Southwestern Boulevard).
