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, a gold medalist in the mixed coxed fours event on Dorney Lake at the 2012 Summer Paralympic 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]
