'''Walcott Street''' is an east–west road in the inner northern suburbs of [Perth](/source/Perth), Western Australia, linking four of Perth's major northern road corridors ([Charles Street](/source/Charles_Street%2C_Perth), [Alexander Drive](/source/Alexander_Drive), [Beaufort Street](/source/Beaufort_Street) and [Guildford Road](/source/Guildford_Road)). It is a four-lane road for its entire length.

== Geography and route ==
Walcott Street begins in [Mount Lawley](/source/Mount_Lawley%2C_Western_Australia) and continues west through [Menora](/source/Menora%2C_Western_Australia) and [North Perth](/source/North_Perth%2C_Western_Australia) until ending at Charles Street. The path traverses a variety of suburbs, each with its distinct personality traits: from the alive, café-lined parts of Mount Lawley to the more sedate residential regions of Menora.

== History ==
{{unreferencedsect|date=July 2025}}
Originally constructed in the early 20th century as part of the suburban network's expansion, Walcott Street has a long history as one of Perth's northern suburban roads. The change from a primarily residential street into an area with multiple uses throughout the years is symbolic of the outlying areas' expansion and urbanisation.

==Major intersections==
All intersections listed are signalised unless otherwise mentioned.
