The rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is a street in Paris, France. Although relatively narrow and nondescript (especially in comparison to the Champs-Élysées), it is cited as being one of the most fashionable streets in the world thanks to the presence of virtually every major global fashion house.

The rue Saint-Honoré, of which the rue de Faubourg Saint-Honoré is an extension, began as a road extending west from the northern reaches of the Louvre property. "Saint-Honoré" refers to the popular French saint Honorius of Amiens.

Number 55 is the Élysée Palace, housing the Presidency of the Republic.
