The Emilio Aguinaldo Highway,[1] (often shortened as Aguinaldo Highway), alternatively known as Cavite–Batangas Road and Cavite-Manila South Road, is a four-to-six lane, 41.4-kilometer (25.7 mi), network of primary and secondary highways passing through the busiest towns and cities of Cavite, Philippines.[2][3][4][5] It is the busiest and most congested of the three major highways located in the province, the others are Governor's Drive and Antero Soriano Highway.

The highway is named in the honor of General Emilio Aguinaldo, the country's first president and a native of Cavite.

The northern terminus of the highway is located at the Zapote Bridge at the province's boundary with Las Piñas in Metro Manila. It then traverses Bacoor, Imus, Dasmariñas, Silang, and ends at Tagaytay in Cavite. The highway forms part of National Routes 62, 419, and 410 of the Philippine highway network. The highway has several official names, like Manila–Cavite South Road, Cavite–Batangas Road, and Tagaytay-Manila via Silang Road. The west alignment of the poblacion area of Silang, is unnumbered as a newer bypass named Silang Bypass Road (or Silang Diversion Road) and is designated as a tertiary road. The section that connects with Manila–Cavite Expressway (then Coastal Road), called the Aguinaldo Boulevard, is also designated as National Route 62 (N62) of the Philippine highway network.
