Ladder Street (Chinese: 樓梯街) is a street in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, consisting entirely of steps and landings formed from a mix of granite slabs and concrete paving. It was so named because it extends up and down in a straight line like a ladder. The street has been listed as a Grade I historic building.

The name has since been applied to describe other streets of this type in Hong Kong.
