Tsing Yi North Coastal Road, also abbreviated as TYNCR, (Chinese: 青衣北岸公路; Jyutping: cing1 ji1 bak1 ngon6 gung1 lou6; pinyin: Qīngyī Běi'àn Gōnglù) is a dual carriageway in Tsing Yi, Hong Kong. The road starts at Tsing Tsuen Road, where it travels through the northern part of the island. It ends at Route 3 and Route 8 on the western side of the island at a left-in/left-out interchange, 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) from its eastern terminus. The road was first planned in 1998 to relieve traffic coming from Lantau. It was constructed in 1999, and was opened in February 2002.

The road starts at the border of the Tsing Ma Control Area, on the eastern exit ramps of the Tam Kong Shan Interchange and the western terminus of Tsing Tsuen Road. The road travels westward, with ramps reemerging from the interchange, which is surrounded by noise barriers. TYNCR then travels across multiple viaducts on the northern side of Tsing Yi, with hills south of the road, and the coastline north of it. About 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) from the eastern terminus, TYNCR travels to Tam Kong Shan Road, near a shipyard and a cement factory. The exit ramp is accessible from westbound lanes, and the entrance ramp from Tam Kong Shan Road to eastbound lanes. The road continues eastward and ends at a left-in/left-out intersection, located east of the Lantau Link Visitors Centre. The interchange then connects to Routes 3 and 8.

In 2014, 15,240 vehicles traveled the road between Tam Kong Shan Road interchange and Tsing Tsuen Road. It is measured in average annual daily traffic (AADT), which measures the amount of traffic daily on average. The road is classified as a District Distributor by the Transport Department.
