Cintra Street or Lebuh Cintra is a street within the Chinatown area of George Town. It starts at Chulia Street and ends atKimberley Street, across from Sungai Ujong Road. It is intersected by Campbell Street. Kampung Malabar also ends at Cintra Street.

Cintra Street was named after an event that was totally unrelated to Penang, safe except for the fact that one of the protagonists was Sir Arthur Wellesley, after whom Province Wellesley was named after. The aforementioned event was the signing of the Convention of Sintra, named after the Portuguese town of Sintra (written Cintra in English), a municipality within the District of Lisbon. The Convention of Sintra allowed French troops to withdraw and evacuate from Portugal, which they had earlier invaded, following their defeat by Anglo-Portuguese forces led by Wellesley.
