Harcourt Street is a street located in Dublin City, Ireland. It is little over 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) in length with its northerly start at the south-east corner of St Stephen's Green and terminates in the south at the point where Adelaide road becomes Harcourt Road, near Harcourt Terrace.

As of 2018 the road is overlaid with a LUAS tram line and traffic is single direction only outwards from the intersection with Charlotte Way. There is a LUAS stop outside the old railway terminus towards the south end of the street. The street is known for its numerous bars and nightclubs, including Tripod and Copper Face Jacks.

Unionist politician Edward Carson was raised here at no. 4 and there is a plaque located at the house. John Scott, 1st Earl of Clonmell lived on the street also at no.17.^[1]

No. 6 is a building with many historical connections including as headquarters of Arthur Griffith's Sinn Féin. It was donated by the state to Conradh na Gaeilge in 1966 on the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising. This was to mark the contribution of Conradh na Gaeilge to the nationalist movement, six of the seven signatories of the 1916 Proclamation having been members of the Conradh. The building was the subject of a documentary Uimhir 6.^[2]
