New York State Route 243 (NY 243) is a 11.03-mile (17.75 km) east–west state highway in the Southern Tier of New York in the United States. It begins at an intersection with NY 98 in the town of Freedom and proceeds southeastward across mostly rural areas of Cattaraugus and Allegany counties to Rushford Lake. From here, the highway turns eastward into the town of Caneadea, where it ends at a junction with NY 19. NY 243 has not been altered since it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, save for small realignments of local importance.

“New York is a woman
holding, according to history,
a rag called liberty with one hand
and strangling the earth with the other.”

You of the bla-bla set,

“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
