State Street is a downtown street in Portland, Maine, United States. Part of Maine State Route 77, it runs one-way for around 0.95 miles (1.53 km), from an intersection with Forest Avenue in the northwest to York Street in the southeast. It is one of the three main routes crossing the Portland peninsula in this direction, the other two being High Street and Franklin Street. Part of the street passes through the Deering Street Historic District.[1]

State Street and High Street were converted from two-way traffic in 1972.[2]
