The following is a list of streets and roads in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Like many city streets in Malaysia and Singapore, those found in Ipoh have traditionally been named after British colonial officers, adjoining landmarks, and other inspirations, and were rendered in English. Following the independence of Malaya in 1957 and the proliferation of Malay as the country's national language, the city's streets, like many throughout the country, were renamed en masse into Malay or after the royalty and politicians, with the latest round of renaming conducted in the late 2000s.
As recent as the 2000s, a handful of streets in Ipoh still retained English specifics while using Malay generics (e.g., Ring Road/Jalan Pekeliling as Jalan Ring). Such street names have become increasingly rare in the city following multiple renaming in favour of fully Malay names.
