Holland Park Road is a residential road in the Holland Park district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, England. It is especially known for Leighton House, owned by the artist Lord Frederic Leighton, President of the Royal Academy and leading light of the Victorian Holland Park Circle, an informal group of 19th-century artists, including William Burges, Luke Fildes, Frederic Leighton, Valentine Prinsep, Hamo Thornycroft, and George Frederick Watts, who lived in the area.[1]

The road links Addison Road (A3220) to the west with Melbury Road to the east. To the south, Kensington High Street runs parallel with Holland Park Road.
