Girard Avenue is a major east-west thoroughfare in Philadelphia that forms sections of U.S. Route 13 and U.S. Route 30 and is named for Franco-American financier Stephen Girard. It stretches through several major neighborhoods of Philadelphia, including West Philadelphia, Fishtown, Kensington, and Port Richmond. SEPTA service along Girard Avenue is provided by the Route 15 trolley.

The street is currently the northern edge of the gentrification of the Fairmount and Northern Liberties sections of the city.

Institutions of note along the street include the Philadelphia Zoo, the shrine of Saint John Neumann, Girard College, and Saint Joseph's Preparatory School.
