The Hutchinson River Parkway, also called "The Hutch," is a parkway that runs through Westchester County, New York and the Bronx in New York City. At the New York/Connecticut state line, the roadway becomes the Merritt Parkway. It also connects to I-678/Whitestone Bridge in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx.

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 bringing their trailers to more "pristine" regions.

The river and the parkway are named after Anne Hutchinson.
