U.S. Route 230 was a short, but regionally-important east-west highway in southeastern Pennsylvania between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where it met its "parent", U.S. Route 30. Pennsylvania redesignated it as Pennsylvania Route 230 during the early 1960s as the state decommissioned numerous three-digit US routes lying entirely within the state. Its greatest importance lay in that (before the Pennsylvania Turnpike was completed) it served, with US 30, as the best link between Philadelphia with the state capital.

Even after its 'demotion' to a state highway designation, a freeway between Harrisburg and Lancaster, Pennsylvania Route 283, an extension of the very short Interstate 283, supplanted much of old US 230 except as a local route.
