Pennsylvania Route 86 (abbreviated PA 86, officially SR 886) is a 12.4-mile-long (20.0 km) state highway in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, United States. The northern terminus of the route is at U.S. Route 6, U.S. Route 19, and Pennsylvania Route 408 in Cambridge Springs. The southern terminus is at Pennsylvania Route 27 in Meadville.

Due to the presence of Interstate 86 (State Route 86) in Erie County, PA 86 is officially State Route 886.^[2]

Nearby attractions include Allegheny College and Woodcock Lake.

From 1936 to 1983, PA 86 extended from US 19 north of Waterford to PA 27 in Meadville. In 1983, the northern terminus was moved to its present location at US 6 and US 19 in Cambridge Springs.^{[citation needed]}
