Carrer del Carme is a street in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, located in the Raval neighbourhood of the Ciutat Vella district. It's part of the recently revamped commercial area of Raval. This street contains the main offices of Institut d'Estudis Catalans and Societat Catalana de Geografia, as well as the Catholic church Església de Betlem, built in the Baroque style, and the public library Biblioteca Sant Pau-Santa Creu, based in the former building of Hospital de la Santa Creu, which was moved to Guinardó.

It must not be confused with Plaça del Carmén (Carmen is a common typo in online guides which often redirects to that one), in the Les Corts district, or with other streets that bear the same name in other cities.
