Pennsylvania Route 32 is a scenic two-lane highway that runs along the side of the Delaware River in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It begins at United States Highway 1 southwest of Morrisville and ends at Pennsylvania Route 611 near the village of Upper Black Eddy. Most notably it passes through Washington Crossing Historic Park, a Revolutionary War-themed historical park on the site of George Washington's Christmas 1776 crossing. It also passes through the towns of Yardley and New Hope.

For most of its length the speeds are reduced to 35 mph, although there are sections of 45 mph. As such, it is more of a scenic river route than a highway and most motorists in Bucks County use parallel roads in that area. It is known as River Road throughout its length.

One section near the 611 north end has decayed, and is reduced to a single lane for both directions.
