The Governor Pack Road (also referred to as Gov. Pack Road) is a major highway in Baguio, Philippines, named for the American William F. Pack, who was appointed Military Governor of Benguet on November 15, 1901 and served as the civilian Governor of Mountain Province, in which Benguet was once part of as a subprovince, from 1909 to 1912.[2][3][4]

The entire road forms part of National Route 54 (N54) and National Route 110 (N110) of the Philippine highway network.[1] It was historically part of Highway 11 especially during the American colonial era.[5]
