7th Street is a downtown street in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, United States. It runs for around 1.06 miles (1.71 km), from North 10th Street, in the northwest, to River Road in the southeast. North of its intersection with Market Street (Pennsylvania Route 45), it is named North 7th Street; south of it, it is South 7th Street. From the West Branch Susquehanna River inland, Market Street's cross streets are numbered 2 through 8, with Front Street replacing what was originally 1st Street. Lewisburg's street layout was designed by Ludwig Derr in 1785, and is believed to have been inspired by that of Philadelphia.[1]

As well as passing through downtown Lewisburg, (South) 7th Street bisects the heart of the Bucknell University campus.

In 2024, Lewisburg Neighborhoods, a non-profit community development organization, was awarded around $5 million to improve the streetscapes of 7th Street, South 5th Street and the Bull Run Greenway.[2]
