The Lake Ontario State Parkway is a 35.60-mile (57.29 km) long parkway along the south shore of Lake Ontario in New York, USA. The western end of the parkway is in Lakeside Beach State Park in Carlton, Orleans County. The eastern end is at Lake Avenue in the city of Rochester in Monroe County. The parkway, except for a section in Lakeside Beach State Park, is designated as New York State Reference Route 947A. The connector in Carlton between New York State Route 18 and the parkway mainline, as well as a short portion of Lakeside Beach Drive north of the parkway, is Reference Route 948A. Both reference route designations are unsigned.

The parkway is part of the Seaway Trail, a National Scenic Byway that extends along the northern border of New York and extends into Pennsylvania. The parkway, with the exception of parts in Greece and Rochester, is mostly in open country. It links lakeside communities and several state park facilities. From its western terminus to the Rochester suburbs, the parkway is the closest continuous roadway to the shore.
