Drake Street (Chinese: 德立街) is a street in Admiralty, Hong Kong. It was named after the Royal Navy ship HMS Drake. A portion of the Admiralty MTR station lies underneath the street.[1]

The area where Drake Street is located was originally part of the Naval Dockyard and Wellington Barracks. As military facilities moved away from the area, Admiralty was developed into a central business district and Drake Street was built in the 1980s.[2]
