7th Avenue North is a downtown street in Birmingham's northside.

West of Center Street, 7th Avenue exists only in short segments, such as between Eufaula Avenue and 15th Street West and between 12th and 11th Street West near Birmingham-Southern College. Another section, beginning at 6th Street, dies into the I-65 right of way after two blocks.

The main stretch of 7th Avenue downtown picks up at 11th Street, just east of I-65, and runs straight into Birmingham City Hall at 19th Street. It picks up again on the other side of Linn Park, past Phillips High School and under the Elton B. Stephens Expressway, before ending at a railroad serving Sloss Furnaces just past 31st Street.

A one-block long section of 7th Avenue connects 41st Street to 42nd Place North at Whatley Elementary School. Another short section crosses from 43rd Street to Messer Airport Highway at 46th Street in Kingston. The easternmost segment runs through a residential area from southwest of 79th Street North to 83rd Street North, about four blocks northwest of East Lake.
