Alabang–Zapote Road is a four-lane national road which travels east–west through the southern limits of Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs parallel to Dr. Santos Avenue in the north and is named for the two barangays that it links: Alabang in Muntinlupa and Zapote in Las Piñas.
From its eastern terminus at an interchange with South Luzon Expressway and the Manila Skyway, the road runs westwards for 10.2 kilometres (6.3 mi) to the junction with Diego Cera Avenue and Aguinaldo Highway. And since 1997, it also extends further west for several hundred meters connecting Las Piñas to its present terminus at Coastal Road (R-1) in Bacoor, Cavite.
Alabang–Zapote Road follows an old Spanish coastal trail that linked the Province of Manila to La Laguna and other southern provinces. It was called Calle Real (Spanish for "royal street") or Camino Real (Spanish for "royal way") which spanned from Ermita to Muntinlupa. At present, only the Las Piñas-to-Muntinlupa section is called Calle Real or Real Street as an alternative name for the road. The rest of the route had been renamed to Del Pilar Street in the City of Manila, Harrison Avenue in Pasay, Elpidio Quirino Avenue in Parañaque, and Diego Cera Avenue in Las Piñas (Manuyo Uno–Zapote segment).
