Stevens Avenue (known colloquially as Stevens Ave) is a major street in the Deering neighborhood of Portland, Maine, United States. Part of Maine State Route 9 from Woodford Street southward, it runs for around 2 miles (3.2 km) from Forest Avenue, at Morrills Corner, in the north to Outer Congress Street in the south. Stevens Avenue passes to the west of Woodfords Corner. Between Morrills Corner and Woodfords Corner, Stevens Avenue is linked to Forest Avenue by several side streets.
Several notable buildings stand on Stevens Avenue, including Stevens Avenue Armory, the University of New England's Portland campus, Evergreen Cemetery and Baxter Woods.
The street passes through Westbrook College Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Stevens Avenue is named for Isaac Sawyer Stevens (1748–1820), who built a home at 628 Stevens Avenue in 1767. It was demolished in 1947.
