'''Akadimias Street''' (Greek: Οδός Ακαδημίας) (named after [[Plato]]'s school of philosophy) is a major street in [[Athens]] that runs parallel to [[Panepistimiou Street]] from [[Vassilissis Sofias Avenue]] to [[Kanningos Square]] in the area of [[Exarcheia]]. Its total length is about 1.2km. It has three lanes and runs almost diagonally from southeast to northwest. Following [[World War II]], it was officially renamed Roosevelt Street in honor of the US President, but Athenians remained faithful to its traditional name.

Buildings along the street include the rear of the [[University of Athens]], Athens Academy, the National Library, the Lyrical Theater and the Church of [[Zoodochou Pigis]]. To the northeast is the district of [[Kolonaki]].
