The Beetham Highway is a major highway in Trinidad and Tobago. It runs from Barataria (where it connects with the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway) into downtown Port of Spain where it meets Wrightson Road. It was constructed between 1955 and 1956.

The highway was named for former Governor Sir Edward Betham Beetham. On January 2009, world boxing champion Jiselle Salandy died after a car crash at Beetham Highway.
