Street in London (City of Westminster) that runs from Picadilly Circus to Trafalgar Square. Houses a number of high class restaurants, two major theatres (the Theatre Royal and Her Majesty's Theatre) and a cinema complex. Part of London's theatre district, the West End.

The Haymarket has been the location for a theater at least since the 17th century, when it housed one of the theatres that G. F. Handel staged his operas in.

The Haymarket runs parallel to Regent Street.
