Cahaba Road is an approximately two-mile, predominantly north-south road connecting Key Circle on the crest of Red Mountain in Birmingham to Shades Creek Parkway/Mountain Brook Parkway in Mountain Brook. It passes through both English Village and Mountain Brook Village and is the location of the main entrance to the Birmingham Zoo.

Cahaba Road was created before 1900. In 1927, the Jemison Companies paved the road, providing smoother and faster access to their Mountain Brook Estates subdivision from Birmingham. In the mid-20th Century, prior to the construction of the current U.S. Highway 280, the road was part of the Florida Short Route.
