Route 168 is a state route in the U.S. states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The route connects the village of Congamond in the town of Southwick to the town center of Suffield. The route crosses over the Congamond Lake. In Massachusetts, the road is town-maintained except for the bridge approach, which is state-maintained.

Route 168 begins at U.S. Route 202/Route 10 in Southwick, within the area known as the Congamond Notch (or Southwick Jog), site of a boundary dispute between Massachusetts and Connecticut. It crosses over Congamond Lake on a short bridge, at the east end of which it crosses the Connecticut state line into the town of Suffield. Route 168 continues east from the Congamond Lakes, passing by a highway picnic area, to Babbs Road (unsigned State Road 585), which is a road that leads directly to the town center of Southwick. From here, the road travels east, south, then east again towards the village of West Suffield, where it has a junction with Route 187. Route 168 continues east for another 2.8 miles (4.5 km) until it ends at an intersection with Route 75 in Suffield center. The entire route is known as Congamond Road in Massachusetts and Mountain Road in Connecticut.
