Jalan Bandar Timah is a street in downtown Ipoh, Perak. It is one of the main streets in town. Jalan Bandar Timah is today a one-way street. Traffic enters at Persiaran Bijeh Timah in the south, and emerges at Jalan Tun Sambanthan in the north, across from Hala Timah. Hala Timah was once part of Jalan Bandar Timah. It was given the name Hala Timah in around 2016, for the stretch where traffic is from the opposing direction. Jalan Bandar Timah intersects with Persiaran Bijeh Timah, Jalan Koo Chong Kong, Jalan Othman Talib, Jalan Sultan Iskandar, Lorong Market, Jalan Market, Concubine Lane, Jalan Panglima and Lorong Hale.
Jalan Bandar Timah was originally known as Leech Street. It was named after J.M.B. Leech, the District Officer of Kinta. That name is transliterated into Chinese as 列治街 and pronounced in Cantonese as Lit Zi Gaai.
Jalan Bandar Timah is one of the major eating streets in Ipoh. There are a few coffee shops here that do very good business especially during lunch time.
