Beijing Financial Street (BFS) (Chinese: 北京金融街; pinyin: Běijīng Jīnróng Jiē) is where Chinese regulatory agencies are located. It is located inside Beijing's innermost 2nd Ring Road.

The central bank's headquarters, as well as three key financial bodies, are located here. They are the People's Bank of China (PBC), the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA), the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), and the Central Financial Commission (CFC).

Beijing Financial Street is being developed by Beijing Financial Street Holding Company, Ltd. The architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, along with SWA landscape architects prepared the urban plan, landscape, and the building design guidelines for the Central Park area of Financial Street, currently in construction with build-out scheduled for 2008. The building facilities are designed around interior courtyards, a design concept which typifies the ancient Hutong neighborhoods surrounding the Forbidden City.
