Miguel Grau Avenue (Spanish: Avenida Miguel Grau), formerly known as Alameda Grau, is a major avenue that forms part of the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It starts at the public square of the same name continuing the path laid out by the Paseo Colón, and continues until it reaches El Ángel Cemetery, passing through the districts of Lima, La Victoria and El Agustino. It partially overlaps the layout of the old walls of Lima.[1]

The elevated viaduct of Line 1 of the Lima Metro crosses part of its central berm, in the section between Aviación Avenue and Locumba Street.[3]
