East Broad Street

East Broad Street is a prominent street in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located to the east of Price Street, at the eastern edge of Savannah's downtown, it runs for about from East Bay Street in the north to East Victory Drive (U.S. Route 80) in the south. The street's northern section passes through the Savannah Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.

In 2025, the section of the street between Nicoll and Hartridge, was renamed Rev. Matthew Southall Brown Sr. Way. Brown, a pastor who served at St. John Baptist Church, on East Derenne Avenue, for 35 years, was born on the street in 1922.
