Provincial Road 248 (PR 248) is a north-south provincial road in the Pembina Valley and Central Plains regions of the Canadian province of Manitoba.

It runs from PTH 6 southward, crossing the Assiniboine River near PTH 26, where it ends, to the Trans-Canada Highway (PTH 1) at Elie. The junction of PTH 1 and PR 248 is one of only two signal-controlled intersections on the Trans-Canada Highway between Headingley and Brandon. From Elie, PR 248 continues southward, intersecting PTH 2 at Fannystelle, and ending at PR 305.[1]

PR 248 is mostly a paved, two-lane road, except for the southernmost portion between PTH 2 and PR 305.
