Mary Street is a major road in the Brisbane central business district. The street is one of a number that were named after female queens and princesses of the royal family shortly after the penal colony was settled. Charlotte Street is positioned parallel to the north and Margaret Street runs next to the south.

Mary Street begins in the Government Precinct at a T-intersection with George Street opposite Queen's Wharf. Also at the elevated southern end is Education House containing state government offices and the Department of Mines and Energy, Queensland are located opposite in the Queensland Minerals & Energy Centre. Felix Tower is located on the corner of Mary and Felix Streets. Waterfront Place and Forestry House are nearby in the lower northern section, close to the river.

Vision Brisbane was a planned residential skyscraper on Mary Street that would have been Brisbane's tallest building.

Mary Street was home to the first premises used by the Queensland Club, before moving to the corner of George Street and Alice Street.[1]

In September 2022, the Mary Street Vision was released by the state government.[2] The planning document is set to transform the street into a subtropical commuter and tourism link. It involves wider footpaths, extra street trees and more small eateries.[2]
