The Marikina–Infanta Highway (also known as Marilaque Highway and Marikina–Infanta Road; formerly known under President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s regime as Marikina Diversion Road, and later Marcos Highway) is a 117.5-kilometer (73.0 mi) highway that connects Quezon City, Metro Manila with Infanta, Quezon in the Philippines.
The Marikina–Infanta Highway starts at the intersection with N11/Circumferential Road 5/Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, near its boundary with Marikina, as a physical continuation of N59/Aurora Boulevard. It traverses the Marikina Valley as a divided highway and passes through Antipolo, intersecting the Sumulong Highway at Masinag Junction. N59 exits the road to run along Sumulong Highway. After Masinag, the road ascends towards the Sierra Madre mountain range as an undivided highway passing through Tanay, Santa Maria in Laguna, and terminating in Infanta in Quezon.
