Italiiska vulytsia (Ukrainian: Італійська вулиця, literally: Italian Street) is a street in the downtown of Odesa, Ukraine. The street is named after Italy. The street was founded in 1827.

It was renamed to Pushkinska after Russian poet Alexandr Pushkin on June 25, 1880, and the street saved the name until July 26, 2024. Although Pushkin lived in several different buildings at different times, the Museum of Pushkin (the branch of the Odesa Literature Museum) was organized at Italiiska Street 13. The statue of Pushkin was founded at the front of the building dedicating to the 200th-year jubilee of his birthday.

Many famous architecture monuments are located on the street; among them are Abazy Palace (now the Odesa Museum of Western and Eastern Art), the New Burse Building (now the Odesa Philharmonic Theater), and the Bristol Hotel.

On July 26, 2024, by order of the head of the Odesa regional state administration, vulytsia Pushkinska was renamed to Italiiska vulytsia.
