Holland Road (Chinese: 荷兰路) is a subzone of the Bukit Timah planning area named after the major road of the same name in Bukit Timah, Singapore.

The roads Holland Avenue, Holland Close and Holland Drive were named as such in 1972. Holland Road is known as hue hng auinHokkien, meaning "behind the flower garden". The "flower garden" refers to the Botanic Gardens.[1]
