'''Dunedin Street Circuit''' is a temporary street circuit for classic and motorsport club racers following some of Dunedin's 1950s street circuit. It is situated at the southern end of [[Dunedin]]'s city centre, some {{cvt|1.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of [[The Octagon, Dunedin|The Octagon]]. Races on the street circuit form one of the main events of [[Southern Festival of Speed]].

The {{cvt|2.900|km|mi|abbr=on}} circuit is a combination of flat and gently hilly sections, the circuit uses several of Dunedin's main streets, including the [[Dunedin Southern Motorway]] extension along the southern edge of the Oval sports grounds and the southern end of [[Princes Street, Dunedin|Princes Street]]. The highest point on the circuit is a winding hill section at the southwestern end of the course (shown at the right on the map), which immediately follows a sharp [[hairpin bend]] at the end of the motorway extension. This section initially climbs then drops down to a flat section which includes Princes Street and which runs along two sides of the Oval (actually a triangular area of ground), before again meeting the motorway extension.
