Surabaya–Gempol Toll Road is a toll road in East Java, Indonesia. This 37 kilometers (23 mi) highway connects Surabaya City in the north with Porong in the south.

The original length of this toll road from Surabaya to Gempol was 43 kilometers (27 mi) long, but the 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) part of this toll road is closed due to the overflow of Lapindo Mudflow that has inundated the Porong–Gempol section of the Surabaya–Gempol toll road since 2006.
