New York State Route 96A (NY 96A) is a state highway in Seneca County, New York, in the United States. It is a north–south road between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake, two of the Finger Lakes. NY 96A is two lanes wide for most of its length, with the exception of the 3-mile (5 km) long four-lane divided highway section at the northern end. The southern terminus of NY 96A is at an intersection with NY 96 in the village of Interlaken. Its northern terminus is at a junction with the conjoined routes of U.S. Route 20 (US 20) and NY 5 in the town of Waterloo just east of the city of Geneva. The junction with NY 5 and US 20 was once a trumpet interchange; however, it was converted into an at-grade intersection in the late 1980s.

NY 96A begins at an intersection with NY 96 (Main Street) in the village of Interlaken. The route proceeds westward along West Avenue as a two-lane residential street before leaving the village for the town of Covert, where it becomes rural. NY 96A continues westward through Covert, before crossing into the town of Lodi, where it intersects with County Route 129 (CR 129) and CR 146 (Townsendville Road). Continuing west from CR 129/CR 146, the route gains the name East Seneca Avenue as it enters the village of Lodi. In the village of Lodi, NY 96A continues as a two-lane resident street, before intersecting with NY 414 (South Main Street). At this intersection, NY 96A and NY 414 turn northward on North Main Street, forming a concurrency. After leaving the village, both roads lose the North Main Street moniker, leaving for the town of Lodi.
