Blumentritt Road is a major road in Manila, Philippines. It runs through the border of the City of Manila with Quezon City from Rizal Avenue in Santa Cruz district to Gregorio Tuazon Street in Sampaloc district. The road also forms the southern boundary of the Manila North Cemetery. It is named after Bohemian professor and filipinologist, Ferdinand Blumentritt.

The portion of the road from Rizal Avenue to Dimasalang Road in Santa Cruz was originally named Calle Sangleyes[2] (Spanish for "Chinese merchants street") in reference to its original residents.

Bonifacio Avenue, Amoranto Street, Laon Laan Road, and España Boulevard before terminating at G. Tuazon Street in Sampaloc, near its boundary with Galas, Quezon City. It is served by the Blumentritt LRT station and Blumentritt PNR station at Rizal Avenue.
