Dr. A. Santos Avenue, formerly called (and still known locally as) Sucat Road, is the primary east-west thoroughfare in Parañaque, southern Metro Manila, Philippines. The avenue's western end is at Victor Medina Street in the boundary between La Huerta and San Dionisio, as the continuation of Ninoy Aquino Avenue. Physically, Ninoy Aquino Avenue connects northbound to NAIA Road in Pasay which, in turn, continues west to Roxas Boulevard back in Parañaque, and then to Macapagal Boulevard, where it finally ends. Its eastern end is at South Luzon Expressway, at the city's border with Sucat, Muntinlupa, where it becomes Meralco Road to service the rest of the route to Sucat railway station.

The avenue was originally called Sucat Road and was named for the barrio in Muntinlupa and its railway station to which it led. Its present name is taken from Dr. Arcadio Santos, a native of Parañaque who was the governor of Rizal from 1920-1922 when the then-municipality was still part of the province.

In September 2013, a bill was authored in the Philippine House of Representatives to rename Dr. Santos Avenue to President Cory Aquino Avenue. This bill authored by Rep. Eric Olivarez is still pending in the Committee on Public Works and Highways as of October 2013.
