Romana Street is an east-west street in downtown Pensacola. Its western terminus is at South Pace Boulevard; from there it travels easterly uninterrupted to its eastern terminus at Bayfront Parkway on Pensacola Bay.

In British Pensacola, what is now Romana Street was called Princess Street, for the Princess Royal.[1] The street is present on the 1812 Pintado plan, where it is labelled Calle de Romana.
