[[Chase Street]] is an east-west road in [[downtown Pensacola]]. Its westernmost terminus is at [[S Street]], but is interrupted for two blocks between [[I Street|I]] and [[G Street]]s. It becomes one-way (east) at [[Devilliers Street]]. At [[Tarragona Street]] it briefly joins an [[I-110]] overpass, then takes [[US 98]] from [[Ninth Avenue]] to its eastern terminus at [[Bayfront Parkway]].

Chase Street is named for Colonel [[William H. Chase]], the construction engineer for Forts [[Fort McRee|McRee]], [[Fort Barrancas|Barrancas]], [[Fort Redoubt|Redoubt]] and [[Fort Pickens|Pickens]] between 1828-1854, who captured the [[Navy Yard]] (ironically, some of the same fortresses he had engineered) for [[Confederate period|Confederate forces]] in January, 1861.
