Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street or simply Hrushevskyi Street[2][3][4] (Ukrainian: вулиця Михайла Грушевського, romanizedvulytsia Mykhaila Hrushevskoho) is a street in central Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

The street is named after Ukrainian academician, politician, historian, and statesman Mykhailo Hrushevsky. Hrushevsky wrote his first academic book on the history of Bar, Ukraine, titled Bar Starostvo: Historical Notes: XV-XVIII. [5]

Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street is located in the government quarter Lypky neighborhood of the Pecherskyi District. It houses the Supreme Council Building, Government Building and the Parliamentary Library. It is adjacent to Mariinskyi Park which contains Constitution Square.

The street acts as a border between the Pechersk and Lypky neighborhoods. At the European Square this street connects to Old Kyiv. There is a noticeable ascent that starts at the European Square and continues on all the way to the intersection with Garden Street next to the Government Building.
