New York State Route 372 (NY 372) is an east–west state highway in southern Washington County, New York, in the United States. It extends for just under 9 miles (14 km) from an intersection with NY 22 in the village of Cambridge to a junction with NY 29 in the village of Greenwich. The route is known as Main Street inside of both villages, the most populated and developed locations on the route. Outside of the two communities, NY 372 is a rural connector traversing mostly undeveloped areas. The road was taken over by the state of New York in stages during the 1910s and 1920s and designated as NY 372 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.
NY 372 begins at an intersection with NY 29 (Main Street) in the village of Greenwich. The route progresses to the southeast, following Main Street through the southern, lesser developed parts of the village before leaving the community after crossing over the Batten Kill. Across the river, the road's surroundings become less developed as it winds its way through the rural parts of eastern Washington County. NY 372 turns to the south at an intersection with Old Cambridge Road, which parallels the highway for a short distance.
After this bend to the south, the highway traverses undeveloped areas until it reaches an intersection with County Route 74A (CR 74A). Development along the route increases slightly at the junction, where the route makes a curve to the east. It crosses from the town of Greenwich to the town of Cambridge shortly afterward. Just east of the town line, NY 372 meets CR 60 prior to resuming a southeastern progression toward the village of Cambridge. Past the turn, the homes give way to a short stretch of dense woodlands, which in turn are replaced with open fields not long afterward. The highway continues to wind its way southeastward across the fields, soon intersecting CR 62.
