The Rue des Petits-Champs (French pronunciation: [ʁy de pəti ʃɑ̃]) is a street that runs through the 1st and 2nd arrondissement of Paris, France.
It was officially created in 1634 by orders of the king during the construction of Palais-Cardinal.
In 1944, the part of the Rue des Petits Champs that extends across Opera near the Place Vendôme was renamed the Rue Danielle Casanova after a French Resistance fighter who died in 1943.
