Parsi Road is a minor road in the Downtown Core of Singapore. A one-way street, it connects Anson Road to Shenton Way. Traffic also enters from Mistri Road.

Parsi Road was named in 1954. It commemorates the Parsi community that was established in 1829, but has since been expunged. According to Singapore Infopedia2, the first Parsi person to arrive in Singapore was actually a convict by the name of Muncherjee, who came in 1819. The Parsis follow Zoroastrianism, an Iranian religion.
