Tongkah Road, or Jalan Tongkah, is a minor road in George Town. It is located in the vicinity of the former tin-smelting precinct now being developed as Penang Times Square. Most people will know Tongkah Road as the "road beside GAMA department store". It links Dato Kramat Road on one end to Trang Road on the other.

Tongkah is named after the district of Tongkah in Phuket, southern Thailand, where tin used to be mined, and the ore sent to Penang for smelting.
