Mikis Theodorakis Avenue (Greek: Λεωφόρος Μίκη Θεοδωράκη), formerly known as Lagkadas Street (Greek: Οδός Λαγκαδά), is the main northern entrance and exit route of Thessaloniki, Greece, connecting the city center to the northern suburbs and the Egnatia Motorway. The avenue starts at Dimokratias Square and ends at the junction with the Titan Cement facilities near the Egnatia Motorway. It is named after Mikis Theodorakis, Greek composer and Greek Resistance member.
The avenue intersects with important roads such as the National Road 11, the Thessaloniki Inner Ring Road, the Akriton Street, the Agion Panton Street, and the Egnatia Motorway.
From Dimokratias Square to the Akriton Street junction, the avenue has four lanes (two in each direction). Beyond Akriton Street, it expands to six lanes (three in each direction) with additional service roads. Mikis Theodorakis Avenue forms part of National Road 2.
