Leighton Road (Chinese: 禮頓道) is a main road in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. It begins east of Causeway Road and ends at the west of the junction with Morrison Hill Road and Canal Road.

Part of the road surrounds Leighton Hill to its north while part of it runs along Lee Garden (a property of the Lee Hysan family), known as Jardine's Hill (owned by Jardine-Matheson) in early colonial days. The area adjacent to the road is relative quiet compared to the business centre of East Point of Causeway Bay.

A branch road, Wong Nai Chung Road leads to the Happy Valley Racecourse and the upscale residential area of Happy Valley.

Lee Theatre, Leighton Centre, Po Leung Kuk, St. Paul's Convent School, Craigengower Cricket Club are located along the road.
