St. Vincent Street, is a major thoroughfare in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland.

The street runs westwards from George Square until it meets Argyle Street in the city's West End. St. Vincent Street was named to commemorate the victory of Sir John Jervis, on 15 February 1797, off Cape Saint Vincent.[1] The Street crosses Glasgow's main shopping street, Buchanan Street just west of George Square. Further west it also crosses the M8.

Some of the notable buildings on the street are the St Vincent Street Church (designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson),[2] the North British And Mercantile Building,[3] and the National Commercial Bank.[4]
