Short Street is a street in downtown Singapore. It is in the Bencoolen neighbourhood of Rochor. It runs from Selegie Road to Rochor Canal Road. It got its name probably because it is shorter than other streets that are parallel to it such as Prinsep Street and Bencoolen Street.

Among the sights along Short Street include Selegie House, Albert Court and La Salle College of the Arts.
