New York State Route 247 (NY 247) is a north–south state highway located in the Finger Lakes region of New York in the United States. It extends for 11.08 miles (17.83 km) from an intersection with NY 364 in the Yates County town of Potter to a junction with U.S. Route 20 (US 20) and NY 5 in the Ontario County town of Hopewell. In between, NY 247 serves the village of Rushville and it overlaps with NY 245 for 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Rushville to Gorham. NY 247 was originally assigned to modern NY 53 from Prattsburgh to Naples in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. At the same time, what is now NY 247 became part of NY 53. The alignments of the two routes were mostly swapped north of Prattsburgh in the early 1940s, placing NY 247 on its current alignment.

Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
