Texaco Road (in Chinese: 德士古道) is a road in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong. It connects the Tsuen Kam Interchange with Ma Tau Pa Road and Wing Shun Street, intersecting with both the Tsuen Tsing Interchange [zh] and Castle Peak Road. Texaco Road, the first internal road in Tsuen Wan, was constructed in the 1930s to facilitate the industrial development of the Texaco Fuel Company at Cape Tsing Yi Bay and was later renovated in 1959. The section of Texaco Road north of Castle Peak Road was constructed later and opened on March 31, 1981; this section is now referred to as Texaco Road North (in Chinese: 德士古道北), and the Texaco Interchange (in Chinese: 德士古交匯處), where Texaco Road intersects Castle Peak Road, was inaugurated on the same day.^{[Note 1]}

During the 1990s, improvement works were conducted on Texaco Road. In the first phase of these works, a single two-lane overpass was constructed to connect Tsuen Wan Road, the Tsing Tsuen Bridge, and Texaco Road North, opening on December 28, 1991. Since the third phase of the improvement project was ultimately canceled, an unfinished bridge from the second phase, completed in 1995, has remained unused and was highlighted in an Ombudsman’s proactive investigation report as a case study. The section of Texaco Road south of Castle Peak Road, running northeast to southwest, marks the boundary between Tsuen Wan District and Kwai Tsing District, and Texaco Road also serves as the dividing line between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Tsuen Wan Road.^{[Note 1]}
