Maryland Route 247 (MD 247) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Loveville Road, the state highway runs 2.89 miles (4.65 km) from MD 5 in Loveville north to Oakville Road in Oakville. MD 247, which serves as a connector between MD 5 and MD 235 in northern St. Mary's County, was constructed in the early 1940s.
