Hollywood Boulevard is a major east–west street in Los Angeles, California. 

It begins in the west as a winding residential street at Sunset Plaza Drive in the Hollywood Hills West district. After crossing Laurel Canyon Boulevard, it proceeds due east as a major thoroughfare through Hollywood, Little Armenia and Thai Town to Vermont Avenue. 

It then runs southeast to its eastern terminus at Sunset Boulevard in the Los Feliz district. 

Parts of the boulevard are popular tourist destinations, primarily the fifteen blocks between La Brea Avenue east to Gower Street where the Hollywood Walk of Fame is primarily located.

In 1985, a portion of Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the “Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District”. 

In 1992, the street was paved with glittery asphalt between Vine Street and La Brea Boulevard.

The El Capitan Theatre was refurbished in 1991 then damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. 

The full El Capitan building was fully restored and upgraded in December 1997. The Hollywood Entertainment District, a self-taxing business improvement district, was formed for the properties from La Brea to McCadden on the boulevard.

The Hollywood extension of the Metro Red Line subway was opened in June 1999, running from Downtown Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley. 

Stops on Hollywood Boulevard are located at Western Avenue, Vine Street, and Highland Avenue. Metro Local lines 180 and 217 also serve Hollywood Boulevard. A Light Rail extension station is proposed at the Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. intersection connection the boulevard with West Hollywood, Central LA and LAX.

An anti-cruising ordinance prohibits driving on parts of the boulevard more than twice in four hours.
