Elpidio Quirino Avenue, also known simply as Quirino Avenue, is a major north-south collector road in Parañaque, southern Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a four-lane undivided arterial running parallel to Roxas Boulevard and its extension, the Manila–Cavite Expressway, to the west from Baclaran at Parañaque's border with Pasay in the north to San Dionisio right by the border with Las Piñas in the south. It is a continuation of Harrison Avenue from Pasay and was originally a segment of the coastal highway called Calle Real. The avenue is designated as a component of Manila's Radial Road 2 network. It was named after President Elpidio Quirino.
The street starts after F.B. Harrison Avenue at the junction of Harrison with Redemptorist Road and Taft Avenue (Taft Avenue Extension) near Baclaran Station, the current terminus of the elevated Manila LRT-1. It travels south across the crowded marketplace of Baclaran just behind the popular Baclaran Church and crosses Airport Road into the village of Tambo. The street then runs parallel to the Estero de Tripa de Gallina to the east which serves as Parañaque's border with Pasay and heads for the junction with NAIA Road and the elevated NAIA Expressway. A few hundred meters south, the road enters the village of Don Galo and crosses the Parañaque River into the old center (poblacion) of Parañaque called La Huerta. It then curves slightly upon reaching the St. Andrew's Cathedral and straightens back as it heads south into the village of San Dionisio. The road intersects with Victor Medina Street near the Kabihasnan Entrance to the Manila-Cavite Expressway and ends just a few hundred meters south as it enters the village of Manuyo Uno in Las Piñas where it continues as Diego Cera Avenue.
