Pennsylvania Route 849 (PA 849) is a 24.8-mile-long (39.9 km) state highway located in Perry and Dauphin Counties in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at PA 74 in Saville Township. The eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 22 (US 22)/US 322 in Reed Township, Dauphin County near Duncannon. PA 849 winds east from PA 74 through farms and woods to Newport, where it forms a concurrency with PA 34. From Newport, the route heads southeast through more rural land to Duncannon, where it turns east and crosses the Juniata River to reach its terminus at US 22/US 322 just north of the Susquehanna River.
PA 849 was designated in 1928 to run from PA 74 in Saville Township east to PA 5 (now PA 34) in Newport. The same year, the present route between Duncannon and US 22 became part of PA 33. In the 1930s, PA 849 was extended east from Newport to PA 14 (which replaced PA 33) in Duncannon. US 11/US 15 replaced the PA 14 designation on the road between Duncannon and US 22/US 322 in 1941. PA 849 was extended east to its current end at US 22/US 322 in the 1950s after US 11/US 15 were moved to a bypass of Duncannon.
