Bayou St. John (French: Bayou Saint-Jean), also known as Faubourg St. John, is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A subdistrict of the Mid-City area, its boundaries as defined by the New Orleans City Planning Commission are: Esplanade Avenue to the north, North Broad Street to the east, St. Louis Street to the south, and the Bayou St. John waterway, the neighborhood's namesake, to the west. The neighborhood was built along what is known as the Esplanade Ridge. The Esplanade Ridge Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and includes much of the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is known for its abundant parks, architecturally-significant homes, museums, and restaurants and shops along Ponce de Leon and Broad Streets.^[1][2]
