The A4226 is a main road linking Bonvilston with Cardiff International Airport (CIA) in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.

The A4226 begins at the junction with the A48 (Sycamore Cross) just east of Bonvilston. It heads in a southerly direction until the junction with Port Road, where it continues in a westerly direction along the northern permieter of CIA until the entrance to the airport at the Tredogan roundabout.

There is currently a proposal to upgrade this road to improve access to CIA. The improvements include adding straighter sections and other works to increase speeds along the road, and to extend the route designation to include the road between Sycamore Cross and the M4 Motorway Junction 34 (Miskin). The extension would also have upgrades including straighter sections to allow for faster speeds.
