Camden Road is a main road in London running from Camden High Street up to the Holloway Road.

The route which became Camden Road was created and developed in the 1820s. At the time, it ran through predominantly rural countryside, which remained the case until the mid-19th century. Holloway Prison opened on a former 10-acre field adjacent to Camden Road.

Camden Road continues east as Tollington Road.
