Telok Blangah Road is a major road in
Bukit Merah, Singapore. It connects Pasir Panjang Road in the west to
Keppel Road in the east. It got its name from a bay in that area. Today the road runs parallel to the elevated West Coast Highway Viaduct.

Singapore Street Names cited historian Widodo (2004) as saying that circa 1800, Telok Blangah was a port of call for Bugis traders who also used the bay for shelter during bad weather.
