Old Strathcona, Provincial historic district in south Edmonton, Canada

Old Strathcona is a historic district in south-central Edmonton, Alberta, centred on Whyte Avenue. Its commercial core, roughly five blocks between 85 and 80 Avenues and 102 and 106 Streets, holds brick buildings from the 1910–1912 boom, including the Strathcona Hotel, the Gainers Block, the Orange Hall and the Princess Theatre.

Strathcona became a town in 1899 and a city in 1907, then amalgamated with Edmonton in 1912. After the Calgary and Edmonton Railway arrived in 1891, a 1902 bylaw required brick buildings downtown to prevent fire, and many current brick structures date from the 1910–1912 boom. An economic slump after amalgamation left many old buildings standing.

The district is home to the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival each August, which brings hundreds of theatrical performances to multiple venues throughout the area. Artists and theater groups use the streets and performance spaces to create a lively artistic celebration that draws visitors from across the region.

The Old Strathcona Farmers Market runs every Saturday throughout the year with over 130 vendors selling local produce and artisanal goods. The pedestrian-friendly streets make it easy to walk between shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues scattered across the district.

The Strathcona Hotel at 10302 Whyte Avenue, built in 1891 by the railway, is the district's oldest building and was the largest hotel in the area until 1904. During Prohibition (1918–1924) it was owned by the Presbyterian Church and housed the Westminster Ladies College.
