The Rue de la Pompe is a street in Paris, France, which was named after the pump which served water to the castle of Muette. With a length of 1,690 metres, the Rue de la Pompe is one of the longest streets in the 16th arrondissement. It runs from the Avenue Paul Doumer (in the district of Muette) to the Avenue Foch (in the district of Porte Dauphine).

Originally, it was a small way and first mentioned in 1730. For a long time, the Rue de la Pompe, which runs from south to north, was together with the Rue de Longchamp (which runs from east to west) the main axis of Passy, whose terrain was mainly used for agricultural reasons until it became a part of Paris on 1 January 1860.
