Barcelona Street is a north-south street in Pensacola. The street is named for the Spanish city of Barcelona.

Barcelona Street's northern terminus is at West Maxwell Street near Pensacola High School. From there Reus travels southerly uninterrupted to West Chase Street. Historically, Barcelona Street extended south to the Bay, but now is preempted by a realigned South Spring Street.
