Luard Road (Chinese: 盧押道) is a road which runs from south to north in the Wan Chai District of Hong Kong. It begins at the junction with Johnston Road, passing the western side of the Southorn Playground, and ends at the T-junction with Gloucester Road. It is one-way for virtually its entire length; only the short section between Gloucester Road and Jaffe Road carries traffic in both directions.

The street was named after Major-General Charles Camac Luard (1867–1947), who was Commander of British Troops in South China.
