King George Street (Hebrew: רחוב המלך ג'ורגRehov HaMelekh George) is a street in Tel Aviv. The street extends from Masaryk Square in the north to Magen David Square in the south, where it meets with Allenby Street, the Carmel Market, Nahalat Binyamin Street, and Simta Plonit. The street is named for King George V of the United Kingdom who was the King during the British Mandate.

At the beginning of the 1920s, the street was called "Carmel Street." In 1935, it was changed to its current name, to mark the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the King. The western section of the street is still called "Carmel Street", which is where the Carmel Market is found.

The street is a bustling commercial centre with many stores, restaurants and coffee shops. It is adjacent to the Carmel Market, as well as to the Dizengoff Center mall on Dizengoff Street.
