Pennsylvania Route 415 (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 0415) is a 10.035-mile-long (16.150 km) state highway located in Luzerne and Wyoming counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at Route 309 in Dallas while the northern terminus is at Route 29 near Harveys Lake in the community of Ruggles. A rare feature of this road is that the right-of-way splits in Harveys Lake, where the State Route 0415 alignment heads along the western side of Harveys Lake, while State Route 1415 heads along the eastern side. The two routes merge several miles north.

Originally, Route 415 was designated from Route 92 (now Route 309) in Dallas along its current alignment until the current Route 29 intersection, where it turned southward to an intersection with Route 115 in the community of Kyttles, where the designation terminated. The route around the eastern side of Harveys Lake was designated as Pennsylvania Route 515 in 1928 along with Route 415. In 1946, Route 515 was decommissioned entirely and Route 415 was truncated back to the new Route 29 in Ruggles. At that point, Route 415 was signed in both directions, with the State Route 1415 designation coming along by 1990.

Route 415 begins at an intersection with Pennsylvania Route 309 (Tunkahannock Highway) in the community of Dallas Township. The route heads westward through the community as Memorial Highway, passing to the north of residential homes and to the south of commercial businesses. The route bends along a large curve, passing several hotels and entering a five-pronged intersection with Lake, Church and Main Street in Dallas Township. After that intersection, Route 415 continues on its northwest progression, running through the highly populous area, including farms and the Dallas Township Department of Public Works. After passing a large factory, Route 415 enters a less populated section of farmland and industrial buildings.
