St John Street is an ancient street in the city of Perth, Scotland. It runs for about 0.11 miles (0.18 km) between High Street to the north and South Street to the south. St John's Place, which surrounds the ancient St John's Kirk, are the only junctions on the street, aside from a couple of vennels: Oliphants Vennel and Baxters Vennel, both of which connect St John Street to Watergate (which, along with Skinnergate, is one of the oldest streets in Perth).[1]

St John Street bounds St John's Kirk to the east; King Edward Street bounds it to the west.
