Katipunan Avenue (Filipino: Abenida Katipunan) is a major avenue in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs in a north–south direction from the University of the Philippines Diliman, intersecting with Tandang Sora Avenue at its northernmost point, down to the Manila Philippines Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, intersecting with White Plains Avenue at its southernmost point.

The road is a component of National Route 11 (N11) and National Route 129 (N129) of the Philippine highway network, respectively, and[2] Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) of Manila's arterial road network.

The avenue has three lanes per direction in most sections, widening to four in select areas,[3] and narrowing to two lanes within Barangays White Plains and Saint Ignatius.

An extension project, shelved by the government for the last six decades due to failed negotiations with private entities, has been revived by the Department of Public Works and Highways to address worsening traffic situations along Katipunan and Commonwealth Avenue, as well as Batasan–San Mateo Road.[4] As of February 2021, the project is 70% complete.[5]
