Western Street (Chinese: 西邊街; lit. 'West Side Street') is a one-way street which climbs uphill from north to south in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong. It connects Honiton Road and Bonham Road in the south with Connaught Road West in the north.

Along with Eastern Street, it is one of the oldest streets in Hong Kong.

Buildings on the west side of the street are allocated odd numbers, whilst those on the east side are mostly even. The newer part of the street (built on reclaimed land north of Queen's Road West) has both odd and even numbered addresses on its east side.
