Exhibition Road is a street in South Kensington, London, England. It is named after the Great Exhibition of 1851 held in Hyde Park to the north.

The road runs between South Kensington tube station and the location of the exhibition in the park. It is bordered by several major museums including the Natural History Museum (incorporating the former Geological Museum), the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum. The main entrance of Imperial College London is also located here. Further north is the Royal Geographical Society on Prince's Gate, which leads from Exhibition Road to one of the entrances on the south side of Hyde Park. The modern Ismaili Centre is at the southern end of the road.
