Tenth Line Road (Ottawa Road #47) is a designated arterial road in Orléans, Ontario. Its northern terminus is at Jeanne d'Arc Boulevard in Ottawa's east end. From there, it intersects or crosses with roads such as Regional Road 174, St. Joseph Boulevard, Innes Road, and further south into the rural areas of Ottawa across Navan Road. Tenth Line's southern terminus is at Smith Road, southwest of the Navan community.
The Tenth Line/Innes intersection is the site of many new housing and commercial projects. The Avalon community is growing rapidly and there are plans to widen portions of Tenth Line Road south of Innes towards the urban limits of the city.
In 1993, a small portion of Tenth Line Road was realigned near St. Joseph Boulevard. The re-alignment was placed slightly to the west. The old portion was kept and renamed Old Tenth Line Road which connects to a Highway 174 exit ramp.
