Zamkowa Street is a street in the Downtown district of Sanok, Poland. It extends westward from the intersection of Market Square and St. John's Square to Adam Mickiewicz Street, where it continues as Żwirko and Wigura Street.
The street's name originates from its path leading to the Sanok Castle. During the Austrian Partition under Galician autonomy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the street was primarily inhabited by the Jewish population. During World War II, under German occupation, the street was renamed to the German name Zamkowastrasse in 1940, and later Schlossstrasse in 1941.
