Kent Street is a street in Sydney, Australia. Originally named Soldiers Back Row, it was renamed Kent Street after the Duke of Kent.[1][2]

Kent Street runs south–north from Liverpool Street in the Sydney central business district to Windmill Street in Millers Point. Originally a two way road throughout, in connection with the opening of the Western Distributor, on 27 July 1980 the section between Liverpool and Erskine streets was converted to one way in a northerly direction.[3]
