Azadi Avenue or Azadi Street (; Khiābān-e Azādi) is a 4.5 kilometers trunk route in Tehran, Iran, connecting Azadi Square to Enqelab Square.

The avenue's name means "Freedom" in Persian. Prior to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the avenue was called Eisenhower avenue after the United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The avenue became an iconic place for demonstrations and gatherings during the 1979 Revolution. Thereafter, in the Islamic republic era, it became a meeting point for national gatherings and marches such as the 22 Bahman Rallies that are annually held in Tehran.
