Dunbrack Street is a 9.2 km (5.7 mi)[1] arterial road in Mainland Halifax, Nova Scotia. It runs from Route 306 (Old Sambro Road) in Spryfield to Kearney Lake Road in Rockingham. Prior to 2019, Dunbrack Street ran from Kearney Lake Road in Rockingham to Main Avenue in Fairview. The remaining section was named Northwest Arm Drive.[2] The former Northwest Arm section is assigned Trunk 32 by the provincial transportation department as an unsigned highway.[3]

Dunbrack Street is named for Roy Dunbrack, who was a surveyor for the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.[4] The Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club is named after the street.[5]
