The Block Arcade is a heritage shopping arcade in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Melbourne's Golden Mile heritage walk runs through the arcade.
The arcade proper is L-shaped, connecting Collins Street at the south end to Elizabeth Street on the west. The 'L' shape is converted into a 'T' through the junction on the north side with Block Place, a partly covered pedestrian lane that leads to Little Collins Street, opening opposite the Royal Arcade. The Block Arcade is best known for its history. The Block Arcade was named number 4 in TripAdvisor's "Australia's top 10 landmarks".
