National Route 180 (N180) is a secondary national route that forms part of the Philippine highway network. It runs from Cubao, Quezon City to Ermita, Manila.

Route description

N180 follows a route that starts at Cubao in Quezon City, which then passes through the district of New Manila in Quezon City, the city of San Juan, Quezon City once again, and the districts of Santa Mesa, Sampaloc, Quiapo, San Miguel, and Ermita in Manila. The highway connects key locations on its route and runs through the heart of Manila. The highway continues westward as Padre Burgos Avenue (N180) and eastward as a continuation of Aurora Boulevard (N59). The highway's section from EDSA in Quezon City to Recto Avenue/Mendiola Street in Manila forms part of Radial Road 6 (R-6), while the rest of the route up to Taft Avenue forms part of Circumferential Road 1 (C-1).

The LRT Line 2 runs on top of the route, utilizing the center island on most segments.
