Albert Street is an arterial road in Regina, Saskatchewan. It is one of the main roads in and out of the downtown area of the city.[1] It is named in honour of Prince Albert, the husband and consort of Queen Victoria, and intersects Victoria Avenue (named after Queen Victoria) in centre of the city.[2]

Albert Street is considered synonymous with Saskatchewan Highway 6, although signage now points Highway 6 to follow Ring Road and bypass the downtown area;[3][4] however, some maps and remnant signage and still show Highway 6 as following Albert Street through Regina. An alternate route of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) through Regina, follows Albert Street between Highway 1 and Victoria Avenue.
