Spring Street is a north-south street in downtown Pensacola and North Hill. Spring Street's northern terminus is at West Scott Street; from there it runs southerly to its southern terminus at West Main Street at Pensacola Bay. From Cervantes Street south to Garden, Spring Street is one-way southbound.

Historically, Spring Street's southern terminus was at West Romana Street. What is now known as Spring Street south of Romana was at that time an extension of Barcelona Street. At some point, the two spans were linked, and Spring Street was the name retained.
