There are two north–south arteries in Washington, D.C. named 7th Street that are differentiated by the quadrants of the city in which they are located.

In this southernmost segment of 7th Street NW, it is the main north–south thoroughfare in Penn Quarter and Chinatown.

Between Pennsylvania Avenue and Mount Vernon Square, 7th Street has a northbound bus/bicycle lane.

A second set of 7th Streets lie in the eastern quadrants of the city, parallel to the western ones, in several discontinuous segments.

The longest section begins at M Street SE, just north of the Washington Navy Yard.
