Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman is a road through the Ayer Rajah area of George Town, to the west of Pulau Tikus. It runs from Cantonment Road to Gottlieb Road. Along the way, it intersects with Brown Road. It also forms junctions with Park Road, Taman Air Rajah (Ayer Rajah Garden) and Solok Air Rajah (Ayer Rajah Close).

Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman was named after Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first prime minister of Malaysia who had his residence there. The Tunku lived there until his demise in 1990.
Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman was formerly known as Ayer Rajah Road, after the Ayer Rajah Estate of the Browns and Scotts that used to be located there in the 19th century.
