Dimasalang Street, also known as Dimasalang Road, is a major road between the districts of Sampaloc and Santa Cruz in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines. Running in a north–south direction, it connects Lacson Avenue and Laon Laan Street in the south to Blumentritt Road, near the city's border with Quezon City, in the north. It also crosses over the Philippine National Railway tracks and below the NLEX Connector at Dimasalang Bridge. It is named after Dimasalang, one of the pen names of the Philippine national hero José Rizal. It was originally developed in the early 20th century as part of the original Rizal Park development where the street names were named in honor of Rizal's life and literary works.
The entire route is designated as National Route 162 (N162) of the Philippine highway network and a component of Radial Road 8 of the Metro Manila arterial road system.
The bridge over the Philippine National Railways track was scheduled to be repaired between August and December 2025 by the Department of Public Works and Highways. However, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno opposed the repair, citing that it was not coordinated with the city government.
