Maxwell Street is an east-west street in Pensacola, running through the Ebonwood, North Hill Highlands, Eastside, and East Hill neighborhoods. Before streets north of Wright and east of 8th Avenue were named, that part of Maxwell Street was known as 19th Street.
Maxwell Street is named for Augustus Emmet Maxwell.
Maxwell Street's western terminus is at Glenwood Avenue, and its eastern terminus is at Whaley Avenue near Bayou Texar. This length, however, is not contiguous, with a number of gaps.
Maxwell Street is interrupted in the following places:
- From Border Street to Grandview Street
- From Wentworth Street to North W Street
- From North Q Street to North Pace Boulevard
- From North L Street to North J Street
- From North D Street to North A Street, by the Pensacola High School campus
