Lei Yue Mun Road (Chinese: 鯉魚門道) is a major road in Lam Tin, Hong Kong. It runs from the junction with Tsui Ping Road and Kwun Tong Road near MTR Kwun Tong Station to the roundabout with Ko Chiu Road near Lei Yue Mun Estate in Yau Tong. The westernmost section of Lei Yue Mun Road is a component of Hong Kong Route 7 and serves as a junction between Route 7 and Route 2.^[1]

The road is named after Lei Yue Mun, a channel roughly 1 km away from its south end. Lei Yue Mun Road is one of the few road accesses to Lei Yue Mun.^[2]

From west to east, Lei Yue Mun Road will first succeed Route 7 from Kwun Tong Road around Tsui Ping Estate, then pass through Kwun Tong Recreation Ground, and goes into the interchange between Route 2 and Route 7 at the junction with Tseung Kwan O Road. Then it intersects Kwun Tong Bypass along a covered pathway with Lam Tin MTR Station and Lam Tin Bus Terminus under Sceneway Garden, and the Lei Yue Mun Interchange. On leaving Lei Yue Mun Interchange, the road is separated from Route 2 and continues running east, passing Yau Tong Road, St. Antonius Girl's College, Ko Chiu Road, Yau Tong MTR Station and ends at a second intersection with Ko Chiu Road near Lei Yue Mun Estate and Yau Tong Bus Terminus.^[3]
