"On Every Street" is the second single and title track from the album of the same name by English rock band Dire Straits.

No promotional video was made for the song. Its B-side is a track from the band's 1980 album Making Movies, "Romeo and Juliet". The song was also included on the 2005 compilation The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations.

The outro of the song, thanks to the pure and crisp notes played by Mark Knopfler's guitar and the strong drums's style by Jeff Porcaro, is often considered one of the most beautiful and recognizable in the history of rock music.
