New York State Route 393 (NY 393) was an east–west state highway in Tompkins County, New York, in the United States. It was a spur route that connected the downtown district of the city of Ithaca to the Ithaca–Dryden town line. The western terminus of the route was at an intersection with NY 13 (modern NY 366) in East Ithaca. Its eastern terminus was at Game Farm Road, a local road that straddled the boundary between the towns of Ithaca and Dryden.
NY 393 was assigned in the early 1930s as a signed designation for a highway that the state of New York had assumed maintenance of in the 1910s. It originally extended west along Mitchell Street to NY 79, but was truncated to Ithaca Road when NY 13 was rerouted through Ithaca in the mid-1930s. The NY 393 designation was removed in the mid-1960s, and its former routing is now maintained by the city of Ithaca and Tompkins County. The designation is currently reserved by the New York State Department of Transportation for a highway in Chautauqua County.
NY 393 began at the intersection of Mitchell Street and Ithaca Road in the city of Ithaca. Here, NY 13 turned off Mitchell Street to follow Ithaca Road while NY 393 continued eastward on Mitchell Street. It passed through the community of East Ithaca and entered the surrounding town of Ithaca. In the town of Ithaca, NY 393 intersected Pine Tree Road (County Route 174 or CR 174) and passed through areas with varying levels of development before ending at Game Farm Road, here marking the boundary between the towns of Ithaca and Dryden. The roadway continued eastward into Dryden as a locally maintained highway.
