New York State Route 320 (NY 320) is an east–west state highway located within Chenango County in the central part of New York in the United States. It extends for 3.55 miles (5.71 km) from an intersection with NY 12 north of the city of Norwich to a junction with Tiffany Road in the town of North Norwich. The road shifts from state to county maintenance at the latter junction, and NY 320's right-of-way continues northeast from Tiffany Road as County Route 29 (CR 29). NY 320 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
NY 320 begins a half-mile (0.8 km) north of the Norwich city limits at an intersection with NY 12 in the town of Norwich. The highway heads to the northeast as a two-lane road, serving a commercial area along the southern edge of Lt. Warren Eaton Airport. It crosses over the Chenango River and a grade crossing with the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway prior to intersecting CR 32 (East River Road). Past the junction, the commercial establishments give way to homes as the route continues to head away from the Norwich area. Near the eastern edge of a valley surrounding the Chenango River, NY 320 briefly turns eastward, running along the Norwich–North Norwich town line and crossing over Thompson Creek, a tributary of the Chenango River.
