Radial Road 8, more commonly referred to as R-8, is a network of roads and bridges that altogether form the eighth radial road of Manila in the Philippines. It runs north-south through northern Metro Manila linking the City of Manila with Quezon City, Caloocan and Valenzuela into the northern provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan and La Union. The portion of R-8 between Guiguinto and Balintawak is also designated a component of the Pan-Philippine Highway network (AH26).

The road consists of the following segments:

Between Quezon Bridge over the Pasig River in the district of Quiapo and Lerma Street in Sampaloc, R-8 is known as Quezon Boulevard. It is the main north-south thoroughfare of Quiapo which is also linked to Radial Road 7 (R-7) via a tunnel to Lerma Street.

Alfonso Mendoza Street (formerly Calle Andalucía) is the continuation of Quezon Boulevard between Lerma Street and Lacson Avenue in the Sampaloc–Santa Cruz border. R-8 turns east on Lacson Avenue for a few meters and turns north on Dimasalang Street.

Between Lacson Avenue and Blumentritt Road at Sampaloc's border with Quezon City, R-8 is known as Dimasalang Street. It passes the Dangwa flower market at its south end and leads to the Manila North Green Park and the Manila North Cemetery main gate at its north end before merging with Bonifacio Avenue.
