The Mosholu Parkway is a hybrid freeway-standard parkway and grade-level roadway in the New York City borough of the Bronx, constructed from 1935 to 1937. The roadway extends for 3.0 miles between the New York Botanical Garden (where its southeast end meets the Bronx River Parkway) and Van Cortlandt Park (where its northwest end meets the Henry Hudson Parkway). Its New York State Reference Route is 908F. The New York City Department of Transportation is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the roadway. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible for the surrounding rights-of-way.

In Van Cortlandt Park, the Mosholu Parkway becomes a limited-access freeway, with exits at the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) and its terminus at the Henry Hudson Parkway just south of the Westchester County line where it turns into the Saw Mill River Parkway. A bikeway runs along the northeast side of the parkway from Van Cortlandt Park to Bronx Park.
