Cevallos Street is a north-south street in downtown Pensacola.

Cevallos Street currently runs for just three blocks, from its southern terminus at East Zaragoza Street north to East Romana Street. It is part of a primarily residential block.

Historically, Cevallos Street continued north past Romana and terminated at East Wright Street, where it continued north as Eighth Avenue.
