The Goldenrod Road Extension is a 2.7 miles (4.3 km) long toll road in southeastern Orlando, Florida, United States, owned and operated by the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX). It extends from Cargo Road at the north end of the Orlando International Airport north to Hoffner Avenue (State Road 15) near the south end of State Road 551. It is a four-lane surface road with several at-grade intersections. A toll (of 50 cents for two-axle vehicles) is required to drive only the section between State Road 528 and Lee Vista Boulevard; the rest can be driven without paying. It is not assigned a state road number, as it will be given to the City of Orlando once the cost of building the road is paid off.

The Extension begins at Cargo Road in Orlando International Airport, traveling north for 0.3 miles before an interchange with the five-ramp partial cloverleaf at State Road 528. The next 1.2 miles northward is tolled, with the barrier toll, and then the Extension intersects with Lee Vista Boulevard. North of this intersection, there are median breaks for several more intersections, as the road enters a newly developed area, heading towards Hoffner Avenue (State Road 15). At Hoffner Avenue, the Extension heads towards its northern terminus at Goldenrod Road (State Road 551), continuing north as SR 551. Despite SR 551 using the older Goldenrod Road to reach Hoffner Avenue, the main route between Hoffner Avenue and Goldenrod Road is via the Extension, and so it is signed TO SR 551 from Hoffner Avenue.
