Tite Street is a street in Chelsea, London, within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, just north of the River Thames. It was laid out from 1877 by the Metropolitan Board of Works, giving access to the Chelsea Embankment.

In the late 19th century the street was a favoured and fashionable location for people of an artistic and literary disposition.

Tite Street is named after the architect William Tite. He was a member of the Metropolitan Board of Works, responsible for the construction of Chelsea Embankment to the south of Tite Street and some railway station buildings.
