Dizengoff Street is a major street in central Tel Aviv, named after Tel Aviv's first mayor, Meir Dizengoff.

Dizengoff Street is one of the most important streets in Tel Aviv, and has played an essential role in the development of the city. In the steet's heyday, it was described as "the Champs-Élysées of Tel Aviv". In Hebrew slang, a verb existed, "To Dizengoff", which meant to window shop with friends and have coffee. Since the 1970s, Dizengoff Street has declined. The advent of a the shopping mall, Dizengoff Center is blamed as the principal reason, along with changes in the configuation of Dizengoff Square. The stretch of Dizengoff Street northward to Dizengoff Square was once very upscale, and full of upscale cafés but has declined.
