Route 126 is a North/South provincial highway in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The road runs from Route 117 intersection in Miramichi. The road has a length of approximately 121 kilometres, and services small, otherwise isolated rural communities. In these areas, the highway is often unofficially referred to as "Main Street." The road parallels the New Brunswick East Coast Railway directly to the east. When the highway enters Moncton it changes to Ensley Drive, then Mountain Road.

The road has many sections with minimal to no shoulders, and with the high-speed motor vehicle traffic of 80 kilometres per hour, and often more, it should be considered as very high risk for bicyclists.
