Maryland Route 371 (MD 371) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Cedar Hall Road, the state highway runs 4.27 miles (6.87 km) from Cedar Hall Wharf Road at Cedar Hall north to Broad Street in Pocomoke City. MD 371 was constructed in segments in the first half of the 1930s. The state highway, which serves the southwestern corner of Worcester County, has been isolated from the rest of the state highway system since the northern terminus was rolled back from U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Business) in the 1990s.
