The Iskandar Coastal Highway (formerly Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway) or the stretch of roads that includes Persiaran Sultan Iskandar, Persiaran Sultan Abu Bakar (formerly Jalan Skudai, Jalan Abu Bakar), Jalan Ibrahim and Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang (Johor state route J1) is a major highway located in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.

Formerly known as the Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway used to be a part of Federal Route before Skudai Highway was built. However, the importance of Johor Bahru as a trade centre for Singaporeans after the separation of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965 became the major factor of the construction of Skudai Highway. Skudai Highway bypasses the portion which becomes the present-day Johor Bahru West Coast Parkway. As a result, the 2-lane Jalan Skudai was recommissioned as Johor State Route J1. The 2-lane Jalan Skudai became the main coastal road in Johor Bahru as the main alternative to Skudai Highway.
In 1996, the construction of Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang as a separate carriageway for JB West Coast Parkway was completed, as a part of the Johor Bahru Waterfront project. However, the project was abandoned due to very high cost, leaving Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang and Lot 1 as the only 2 structures completed for the project.
In 2002, the government of Johor proposed the Danga Bay project, not only to revive the former Lagun Puteri and Pantai Lido, but also to boost the economy of west Johor Bahru. The Danga Bay project included a 4-km upgrade of the 2-lane Jalan Skudai as a dual carriageway. The road upgrade was completed by the end of 2003.
Following the establishment of the Iskandar Development Region (IDR) (now Iskandar Malaysia) on 30 July 2006, the new coastal highway linking Nusajaya from Danga Bay was announced. Construction began on 2008 and was completed on 2011.
