New York State Route 402 (NY 402) was a state highway located within the village of Tivoli in Dutchess County, New York, in the United States. It was assigned in the early 1930s and served as a connector between NY 9G and what was once a ferry landing on the Hudson River west of the village. Although the ferry service linking Tivoli and the village of Saugerties was shut down in the 1940s, NY 402 continued to exist until 1980. On April 1 of that year, ownership and maintenance of the highway was transferred to Dutchess County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the county and the state of New York. The highway became part of an extended County Route 78 (CR 78), which had begun at the junction of NY 9G and NY 402 prior to the swap.
NY 402 began at what was once a ferry landing on the Hudson River west of the Tivoli village center, but within the village limits, in northwestern Dutchess County. The highway went southward from the ferry landing, paralleling the Hudson River for a short distance before it turned eastward and traversed a pair of hills as it approached the center of the village. In this area, NY 402 connected to Sycamore Point, a plateau overlooking the Hudson River. East of the highway leading to Sycamore Point, NY 402 intersected with Woods Road, a north–south highway marking the western edge of the village's central district.
The route proceeded eastward through the village center, an area comprising homes, businesses, and St. Sylvia's Church. It exited the area upon intersecting Clay Hill Road, at which point NY 402 changed names from Broadway to Mill Street. The route continued for another 0.3 miles (0.48 km) to an intersection with NY 9G, where NY 402 ended and the roadway continued east as CR 78.
