St John Street is a street in central Manchester, England. It consists mainly of late Georgian and Regency era terraced houses. Laid out between 1770 and 1830, the street runs roughly east–west between Deansgate and Byrom Street, terminating in an urban park, formerly the site of St John's Church, at its eastern end. Originally built for the prosperous Manchester upper-middle classes, by the 20th century it had become the preserve of the medical and legal professions. In the 21st century, some of the buildings are being reconverted to residential use. The only surviving Georgian terraced street in central Manchester, many of its buildings are listed.
