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.
Route 126 was commissioned in 1965 to replace the former route 33. It was shortened in Miramichi in 1997 to end at the new Route 117 bypass, rerouted in the Lutes Mountain area in 1998 to follow a short section of the former Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2), and shortened in Moncton in 2003 when the portion of Mountain Road south of Wheeler Boulevard (Route 15) was turned over to city control.
