2000 Pennsylvania Avenue, also known as The Shops at 2000 Penn and Red Lion Row, is a shopping center and eight-story office complex located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., near the campus of The George Washington University. The center was built between 1982 and 1983, and incorporates a set of row houses constructed between 1831 and 1896. As the 2000 block of Eye Street, NW, the houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

The original houses sat on a block bordered by H, I, 20th, and 21st Streets; who designed and built them is unknown. The thirteen buildings were joined together during construction of the shops and office building; some of their original materials were retained for the finished product. Work began on the complex on December 28, 1982; it was named on October 19, 1983.
