Maryland Route 333 (MD 333) is a state highway in Maryland’s Talbot County. It runs about 9.8 miles from the Oxford–Bellevue Ferry terminal in Oxford to Washington Street in Easton, and is part of the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway.

Route overview
MD 333 starts at the Oxford ferry terminal, across the Tred Avon River to Bellevue. It heads southeast through Oxford on Morris Street, then leaves town on Oxford Road and turns east, then northeast. The road passes through farmland, crosses Trippe Creek and Peach Blossom Creek, and enters Easton. It crosses Paper Mill Pond, then meets MD 322 (Easton Parkway). The highway continues northeast as Peach Blossom Road, ending at a five‑way intersection with Washington Street, Harrison Street, and Idlewild Avenue just south of Easton Middle School.

A portion of MD 333 from Peach Blossom Creek to MD 322 in Easton is part of the National Highway System, meaning it’s a major route for travel and commerce.

History highlights
- The first section, from Trippe Creek to Peach Blossom Creek, was built as a state‑aid road in 1913 and included bridges over the creeks.
- It was extended north to Easton by 1919.
- The highway was rebuilt as a state highway starting in 1925. By 1927, the portion north of Peach Blossom Creek and the segment between Almshouse Road and Trippe Creek were paved, and the Oxford to Almshouse Road segment was finished by 1930.
- In 1948, Easton was bypassed by a new route (now US 50), and MD 333 was extended south along Washington Street to the bypass. The northern end was realigned back to Washington Street in 1958.
- The bridges over Peach Blossom Creek and Trippe Creek were replaced in 1997 and 1998.
- The entire route lies within Talbot County.
