Pennsylvania Route 284 (PA 284) is a 9.043-mile-long (14.553 km) state highway located in Lycoming County in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at PA 287 in English Center and the eastern terminus is at an interchange with US 15 in the Buttonwood section of McNett Township. PA 284 was designated as a spur of Pennsylvania Route 84 in the 1928 renumbering of state highways in Pennsylvania. The route was paved in 1932 and has remained relatively untouched since, although Route 84 was re-designated as PA 287 in 1961 to avoid duplication with Interstate 84.
PA 284 begins at an intersection with PA 287 just north of the village of English Center. The road winds northeast through rural Lycoming County alongside nearby Little Pine Creek. PA 284 runs through Pine Township, soon reaching the newly named Blackstone Creek (from Little Pine). The two-lane continues through the dense woods in the area, paralleling Blackstone Creek into the village of Buttonwood. In Buttonwood, PA 284 enters an interchange with US 15, first intersecting with the ramp to US 15 south. After crossing the freeway, PA 284 curves north and ends at the junction with an on-ramp to US 15 northbound.
