Gilmore Avenue is one of the main roads in Quezon City, Metro Manila, the Philippines. It runs from E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City and terminates in Nicanor Domingo Street, continuing on as Granada Street until it reaches the San Juan City border, where it becomes Ortigas Avenue. The road is named for Eugene Allen Gilmore, Vice Governor-General of the Philippines from 1922 to 1929 who twice served as acting Governor-General.^[1]

The Aurora Boulevard intersection of Gilmore Avenue is well known for being one of the main shopping centers for IT-related products such as computers, and related parts, due to plentiful vendors and competitive pricing compared to other establishments.
