The Street (stylized as The $treet) is an American television drama series that aired on Fox in 2000. Only 12 episodes were produced, and the series was pulled from U.S. airwaves after 7 episodes aired. All 12 episodes aired overseas, and are currently available for viewing on YouTube.

The series was about a small brokerage house called Belmont Stevens located in New York and the lives of its employees.

The Street is a historical property on a bridleway of the same name in Heath Charnock in the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England. It is located on the western banks of the Upper Rivington reservoir and close to the boundary with the village of Rivington. It has been converted to apartments.

Alexander Street took name from the property when he was the owner of the estate in 1534. After his death, a distant cousin attempted to gain control of the building, but he was evicted after a presumptuous attempt to act as a guardian to the deceased's children.

After the reservoir was built in 1850, the house was demolished and rebuilt with compensation from Liverpool Corporation. In 1853, the property was owned by Peter Martin, who also owned Street Wood and Blindhurst Farm. Major renovation was undertaken, including vineries in the expansive gardens.

Chorley Borough Council considered demolishing the structure following the demolition of many other large historic buildings in the village. It was rebuilt and although the roof was removed, the ornate and distinct chimneys remained.

Opposite the property is a pets' grave, paying tribute to a trio of cats and dogs, which perished between 1900 and 1902.

The Street is a novel published in 1946 by African-American writer Ann Petry . Set in World War II era Harlem, it centers on the life of Lutie Johnson. Petry's novel is a commentary on the social injustices that confronted her character, Lutie Johnson, as a single black mother in this time period. Lutie is confronted by racism, sexism, and classism on a daily basis in her pursuit of the American dream for herself and her son, Bub. Lutie fully subscribes to the belief that if she follows the adages of Benjamin Franklin by working hard and saving wisely, she will be able to achieve the dream of being financially independent and move from the tenement in which she lives on 116th Street. Franklin is embodied in the text through the character Junto, named after Franklin's secret organization of the same name. It is Junto, through his secret manipulations to possess Lutie sexually, who ultimately leads Lutie to murder Junto's henchman, Boots. Junto represents Petry's deep disillusionment with the cultural myth of the American dream.

The Street is the medieval name of the Roman road that ran through the Peak District of Derbyshire from the spa town of Buxton (Latin Aquae Arnemetiae) southwest towards modern Derby. The line of the road can be traced from surviving features, confirmed by archaeology, from Buxton as far as Carsington, where there was a Roman settlement. It is believed that from Carsington the road ran eastwards to Wirksworth and there joined an older ridgeway that can be traced to the northern suburbs of Derby, not far from Little Chester, the site of the Roman settlement of Derventio.

The Romans built farmsteads near the Street, to feed the soldiers and growing population in the area. Remains of a farm have been found near Minninglow.
