Barton Street and Cowley Street are two short streets in Westminster, London. They were developed in the 18th century by the actor Barton Booth, the former taking his first name, and the latter the name of an estate he owned at Cowley, then in Middlesex to the west of London. The streets' proximity to the Palace of Westminster has made them a popular choice for politicians looking for homes within Parliament's Division bell area; they have also attracted other celebrities, including; T. E. Lawrence, who wrote much of his Seven Pillars of Wisdom at No. 14, Barton Street; and the actor, John Gielgud lived at No. 16, Cowley Street. Many of the buildings are listed, most at the second highest grade, II*. Simon Bradley and Nikolaus Pevsner, in the sixth London volume in the Buildings of England series, Westminster, revised and reissued in 2003, describe Barton Street and Cowley Street as, "among the most perfect Early Georgian streets in Westminster".

Barton Street and Cowley Street run in a dog-leg from Great Peter Street in the south to Great College Street in the north, lying to the south of the grounds of Westminster School.
