Pennant Hills Road is a 16.1-kilometre-long (10.0 mi)^[3] arterial road located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The road links the suburb of Wahroonga in the northeast, to the major central business district of Parramatta in the southwest. Apart from a small section at its southwestern end, it is a constituent part of Cumberland Highway, and is designated part of route A28.

In 2015 NRMA members voted the Pennant Hills Road as the second worst road in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, with approximately 5,000 heavy vehicle movements per day.^[4] NorthConnex, a 9-kilometre (5.6 mi) motorway tunnel opened on 31 October 2020, runs parallel to Pennant Hills Road and links M2 Hills Motorway at West Pennant Hills with Pacific Highway and Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga. NorthConnex aims to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow along part of the Pennant Hills Road, reducing air and traffic pollution.^[5]
