'''Belmont Street''' is an east-west street in Pensacola and a prominent thoroughfare in the [[Belmont-De Villiers]] district.
Belmont Street's main western terminus is at [[V StreetWiggins Avenue]] with an ultimate eastern terminus at [[17th Avenue]] near [[Bayou Texar]], just north of the [[17th Avenue railroad trestle]]. However, the street is interrupted at several points:*From a point east of [[Wiggins Avenue]] to [[V Street]]
*By [[St. John's Cemetery]], for five blocks, between [[L Street]] and [[G Street]]. The main cemetery drive, accessible by vehicle, is coincident with Belmont Street.
*By [[Interstate I-110]] and the [[CSX Railroad]] tracks, for one block, between [[Tarragona Street]] and [[Hayne Street]].
*By [[Lions Park]], for one block, between [[12th Avenue|12th]] and [[13th Avenue]].
Further west, on the other side of [[Bayou Chico]], there is a cul-de-sac named Belmont Street that travels easterly from [[Wiggins Avenue]] for a distance equivalent to about two blocks.
Prior to the renaming of streets in [[1906]], East Belmont Street was known as '''1st Street'''; West Belmont Street was known as '''Forbes Street'''.
