Shaw Boulevard (formerly known as Jose Rizal Boulevard and Pasig Boulevard [3] or commonly known as Crossing) is a 4-8 lane highway connecting the cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig in the Philippines.

Shaw Boulevard starts as a four-lane road at Sevilla Bridge, which crosses the San Juan River, before coming to an intersection past General Kalentong Street. It is the physical continuation of P. Sanchez Street in Manila. It follows a slightly curved route over Mandaluyong before crossing EDSA. The road expands into four lanes per direction, with two lanes going to the flyover, and two lanes passing below. The flyover carries the road over Shaw Boulevard MRT station and descends near EDSA Shangri-la. The road becomes a dual six-lane carriageway east of EDSA, and soon enters Pasig. Shaw Boulevard eventually is reduced to a four-lane road and extends to C-5 as Pasig Boulevard.
