M. M. Alam road is a road in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It runs from Main Market to Firdous Market in Gulberg. The road runs parallel to famous Main Boulevard thus providing an alternate route and a huge business for restaurants, fashion boutiques, shopping malls, beauty saloons and décor stores. In contrast with Food Street in Gawalmandi, which is located in old city and is considered a budget dine out, M.M. Alam road hosts a variety of flamboyant restaurants in modern Lahore.

The road is named after retired Air Commodore of Pakistan Air Force, Muhammad Mahmood Alam who was the recipient of the Pakistani military decoration, the "Sitara-e-Jurrat" (The star of courage) and a bar to it for his dog fight during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965.
It used to be a residential area, which quickly became commercial with the opening up of many private schools and later fashion studios and international and national restaurants such as KFC, Nandos and Pizza Hut. It has been renovated to cope with the heavy traffic and night life of the area.
