Kennedy Road is a north-south street in Toronto and York Region, Ontario, Canada. The Toronto section of the road is mainly residential with a small section of commercial activity from Lawrence Avenue East to just north of Sheppard Avenue East. North of Steeles Avenue, it is also known as York Regional Road 3.

Kennedy Road is named for the Kennedy family, one of the many early farming settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries to which Thomas Laird Kennedy belonged.

Kennedy Road is one of two major Greater Toronto Area streets (the other being Queen Street) that share their names with other, equally-major roads. The other Kennedy Road runs north-south in Peel Region.
