The Trinity Parkway is a controversial proposed six-lane toll road in Dallas, Texas (USA) to run from the State Highway 183/Interstate 35E juncture to U.S. Highway 175/Interstate 45. The Dallas City Council voted 14-1 to support a parkway inside the eastern levee of the Trinity River. Dallas City Council has recommended that a "context-sensitive design" be used for the parkway.

The project includes 10 miles (16 km) of roadway, one main lane toll plaza, 14 ramp toll plazas and multiple interchanges that is planned to be constructed in part and operated by the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA). The construction of a new roadway in this area is one of several projects identified in a 1997 major investment study to relieve serious congestion near downtown Dallas. The NTTA has been working with the City of Dallas, the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on this project.
