City Road is a busy 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) thoroughfare located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. City Road runs south from a junction with Broadway and Parramatta Road, through the University of Sydney and becomes King Street as it enters the suburb of Newtown.

City Road forms part of the Princes Highway officially and is allocated route A36.[1][2][3] It is crossed by a 34-metre (112 ft) pedestrian footbridge opened in 2008, linking the two main campuses of the University of Sydney, and the footbridge was the subject of an international design competition won by John Wardle Architects.[4][5]
