Gorokhovaya Street ( _ru. Горо́ховая у́лица) is a north-south thoroughfare in the Central Business District of Saint Petersburg.

Gorokhovaya Street extends from the Admiralty and runs south, crossing the Moyka River and the Griboyedov Canal, crossing the Garden Street near Sennaya Square. Running south, crossing Fontanka River, it's home to the Semenovsky Bridge. The street ends at Zagorodny Prospect.
