New York State Route 259 (NY 259) is a north–south state highway located west of Rochester in Monroe County, New York, in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 33A in the hamlet of West Chili within the town of Chili. Its northern terminus is at a junction with the Lake Ontario State Parkway in Parma near the Lake Ontario shoreline. NY 259 meets Interstate 490 (I-490) in Chili and NY 531 south of Spencerport. The junction with I-490 is less than 0.2 miles (0.3 km) from where NY 259 begins at NY 33A.
All of NY 259 south of Curtis Road in Parma was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The route was extended north to the Lake Ontario shoreline in the late 1950s to meet the Lake Ontario State Parkway. This northward extension was originally maintained by Monroe County as the unsigned County Route 226 (CR 226); however, ownership and maintenance of CR 226 south of the Lake Ontario State Parkway was transferred from Monroe County to the state of New York in 2007 as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.
