Letre Road is the main street in Malabon, northern Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a western extension of Samson Road from Caloocan beginning at the intersection with C-4 Road and terminating at F. Sevilla Boulevard at the Malabon City Hall roundabout. It is named for the old barrio in Malabon through which it passes. The section between C-4 Road and Tonsuya Bridge is alternatively named "P. Aquino Avenue" in honor of Paterio Aquino who served as municipal mayor of Malabon from 1946-1951 and 1956-1959.[1] The section west of Tonsuya Bridge in barangays San Agustin and Tañong, on the other hand, is alternatively named "Rizal Avenue Extension."

This six-lane undivided street houses several notable Malabon establishments including the Malabon City Hall, San Bartolome Church, St. James Academy, Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery, and Pescadores Restaurant. It is included in the list of most flood-prone areas in the metropolis by the Metro Manila Development Authority.[2]
