Liberty Avenue is a major thoroughfare starting in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, just outside Point State Park. Liberty Avenue runs through Downtown Pittsburgh, the Strip District, and Bloomfield and ends in the neighborhood of Shadyside at its intersection with Centre Avenue and Aiken Avenue. Liberty Avenue is about 4.3 miles (6.9 km) long.

A survey of Pittsburgh in 1784 already shows a Liberty Street in its present location.[1] It is also called Liberty Street in a map from 1860.[2]
