King's Highway 169, commonly referred to as Highway 169, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway connected Highway 12 at Brechin, southeast of Orillia, with Highway 69 at Foot's Bay. The 91.40 km (56.79 mi) route included an 18.20 km (11.31 mi) concurrency with Highway 11 between Washago and Gravenhurst. Located within Simcoe County and the District Municipality of Muskoka, the highway also provided access to the community of Bala.

Highway 169, originally the southern leg of Highway 69, was created in 1976 when the latter was rerouted along Highway 103 south of Foot's Bay to Waubaushene. Highway 69 was itself established in 1936 along the eastern side of Lake Couchiching between Atherley and Washago. It was extended to Parry Sound the following year. In 1952 the highway was rerouted south of Washago to end in Brechin.

Highway 169 remained unchanged from 1976 to 1998, when it was decommissioned during the highway transfers of 1998. On January 1 of that year, the route was designated as Simcoe County Road 169 from Brechin to Washago, and Muskoka District Road 169 from Gravenhurst to Foot's Bay. Through Muskoka District, the road is also known as the Frank Miller Memorial Route.
