Anonas Street is a street located in Quezon City, Philippines. It is a notable road in a generally north-south orientation between the intersection with Madasalin Street in Diliman and the junction with Aurora Boulevard in Project 3. It is served by Anonas Station of the Manila LRT-2.

The street was named after the Spanish name of the fruit Custard Apple that was believed to have once been abundant in the area of Project 3. The name was implemented during the term of President Elpidio Quirino wherein naming major streets with the woody trees that once grew abundant in the area was the trend in the Malayan countries.[1]
