Salisbury Road (/ˈsɒlzbri/; Chinese: 梳士巴利道, formerly 梳利士巴利道) is a major road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
It runs parallel to Victoria Harbour, starting from its western end at the Star Ferry Pier, passing by Blackhead Point, to Tsim Sha Tsui East. It intersects with several major roads in the area, including Canton Road, Kowloon Park Drive, Nathan Road and Chatham Road South, and connects to the Hung Hom Bypass at its eastern end.
Several Hong Kong landmarks and points of interest are located along or near Salisbury Road, including the Star House, the 1881 Heritage complex (including the Former Marine Police Headquarters and the Old Kowloon Fire Station), the Peninsula Hotel, the Hong Kong Space Museum, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. The Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade, which runs alongside the road, offers a spectacular view of the Hong Kong skyline across the Victoria Harbour.
