The Hutchinson River Parkway, colloquially called "The Hutch" by many Westchester and Bronx residents, is a parkway that runs through Westchester County, New York and the Bronx in New York City. At the New York/Connecticut state line, Rye Brook, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, the roadway becomes the Merritt Parkway. Its southern end is at the massive Bruckner Interchange in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx; it runs straight through to the Whitestone Expressway (I-678). The road is unsigned New York State Reference Route 907W in Westchester and New York State Reference Route 908A in the Bronx.

Originally, the parkway was built and designated all the way to the Bronx Whitestone Bridge. However, the original parkway designs did not allow for commercial traffic. When the bridge was designated I-678, the section between the Bruckner Interchange and the Bronx Whitestone Bridge had to be converted to Interstate standards. Once that was completed, that section was resigned I-678 and renamed part of the Whitestone Expressway.

Urban legend has it that it was deliberately designed by master builder Robert Moses at the time to have low bridges to prevent low income families from traveling by bus to more "pristine" regions.

The river and the parkway are named after Anne Hutchinson.
