Jalan Chian Heng Kai is a 4-lane main road in Taman Bayu Mutirara, in Bukit Mertajam, Penang. The road is close to one kilometer in length (970 meters). It connects Jalan Song Ban Kheng in the north with Jalan Bukit Tengah in the south. Originally called Jalan Bayu Mutiara, it was renamed on 4 April 2015 in honour of the late Mr Chian Heng Kai, a Member of Parliament from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) who was the MP for Bukit Mertajam in 1986 and 1990.

Mr Chian passed away on 14 May, 2011 and was buried in Muar, Johor. Mr Chian is remembered for his role in defending the use of mother tongue for Chinese education.

Jalan Chian Heng Kai is a dual carriageway with a divider. It is two lanes in each direction, except at the approach to the Jalan Bukit Tengah flyover, where it expands to three lanes each way. The road is lined with residential and commercial properties, which is separated from it by service roads.
