Secondary Highway 520, commonly referred to as Highway 520, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway is 68 kilometres (42 mi) in length, connecting several small communities in Parry Sound District with Highway 124 and Highway 11.
The highway links several remote First Nation hamlets to the major highway routes of the region. However, the only places of noteworthy size are the village of Magnetawan and the town of Burk's Falls. It is concurrent with Highway 124 for 15.4 kilometres (9.6 mi).
Highway 520 begins in Ardbeg, at a flag stop crossing of the Canadian National Railway (CN). It loops west, then south through a sparsely populated region of the Canadian Shield, though providing access to several First Nation villages. Upon reaching Highway 124, the two routes travel east, concurrently, for 15.4 kilometres (9.6 mi). Highway 520 then branches to the south, meets Highway 510 and passes through the village of Magnetawan.
