Satakunnankatu is an east–west, busy street in the center of Tampere, Finland, which is one of the city's main streets.

Satakunnankatu is part of the nationally significant industrial landscape of Tammerkoski, and there are several sites along it that are valuable for architecture, cultural history and the cityscape. The street is bordered by, among other things, the former weaving building Plevna (1877), which belongs to the Finlayson factory area, where the first electric lighting in the Nordic countries and the then Russian Empire was introduced in 1882. Other nationally significant buildings on Satakunnankatu include the Central Fire Station designed by Wivi Lönn (1907) and the Hotel Tammer (1928) designed by Bertel Strömmer.
