Lavender Street is a street in Kallang, Singapore. It connects Balestier Road, at the intersection with Serangoon Road, in the north, with Crawford Street, at the intersection with Kallang Road.

Lavender Street dates back to 8 March, 1858, at a time when the area was covered with Chinese vegetable gardens. The area was smelly from the nightsoil used by the farmers, but the residents called the place lavender, out of sarcasm1. The municipality somehow accepted that name, and the road became known as Lavender Street.
