The Rue Vieille-du-Temple is a street located in the 3rd and 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The street is the path that historically led to the now demolished Prieuré hospitalier du Temple and its tower.

The Rue Vieille-du-Temple is 855 meters long and is located in the Archives, Saint-Gervais and Enfants-Rouges districts. It begins at 36, rue de Rivoli, the road merging past the intersection into the wider Rue de Pont Louis-Phillipe[1], and ends at 1, rue de Bretagne, leading to a 6-way intersection between Rue de Bretagne, Rue Froissart and Rue de Tureme, leading into Rue de Filles de Calvaire as you cross the intersection.[2] This site is served by the Hôtel de Ville and Filles du Calvaire metro stations.

Although not much is known about when the road was created, it has been referenced as far back as around 1300.[3]
