Victoria Avenue is a street in the central business district of Perth, Western Australia.

At the northern end of Victoria Avenue is Victoria Square enclosing St Mary's Cathedral.

Victoria Avenue is frequently used in the annual Channel 7 Christmas Pageant.

Buildings

St John's Pro-Cathedral is on the eastern side just north of the Hay Street intersection.

On the corner of Victoria Avenue and St Georges Terrace, a school named Christian Brothers College existed. It was located at that site until 1961, when it was demolished. The site is currently occupied by the Duxton Hotel.
