Divinity Road is a residential road in Oxford, England.[1] It connects with the east end of Morrell Avenue to the northeast and with Cowley Road to the southwest. The road is on a hill sloping southwest.

The road includes detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses.[2] Divinity Road Area Residents’ Association (DRARA) is a residents' association in the local area around Divinity Road.[3] The Beeches, student accommodation of Linacre College, Oxford, is located in Divinity Road.

Lily van den Broecke, Olympic Gold medal winner for the mixed coxed fours event on Dorney Lake at the 2012 Olympic Games, was a resident of the road in 2012, so a post box in the road was painted gold in her honour.[4][5][6] Divinity Road features in the book The Rocktastic Corduroy Peach by Michael Amos.[7]
