Leake Street is a street in the city of Fremantle, Western Australia, located between Market Street and Pakenham Street. It was named after George Leake, the first resident magistrate of Fremantle in 1839.^[2]

As a side street, it was neglected early on for road surface improvement.^[3]

In the early twentieth century, it was frequently cited as a problematic street with the members of the "Leake Street Push" being seen as disorderly and lawless.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
