Bridge Street is a street in the central business district of Sydney, Australia. Bridge Street runs for 500 metres (1,600 ft) in a west–east direction with traffic flowing in both directions.^[1][2] It is situated in the northern portion of the central business district. The western terminus of Bridge Street is at George Street, with the eastern terminus at Macquarie Street, adjacent to the Chief Secretary's Building. From west to east, Bridge Street crosses Pitt and Phillip streets.

Bridge Street was named by Governor Macquarie in 1810, derived from a small bridge located near the intersection with Pitt Street. The bridge used to cross the Tank Stream in the early days of the colony,^[3] with the stream now flowing underground via a series of suburban tunnels.

The Bridge Street stop of the CBD and South East Light Rail is located south of the intersection of Bridge Street and George Street.
