8th Street East is a road serving the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It begins as a continuation of a minor residential street (8th Street West) at Highway 219 (Lorne Avenue) in Saskatoon, and runs through the city, eventually exiting the city limits, going through the eastern part of Corman Park Rural Municipality and continuing to Range Road 3033 in the Blucher Rural Municipality near Patience Lake.
8th Street East is an important arterial road within Saskatoon, and from Clarence Avenue to McKercher Drive is considered the city's main commercial district, with many shops and businesses, including a major regional shopping centre and several strip malls located on the road. 8th Street East is divided by a boulevard until Boychuk Drive, where it downgrades to a two-lane road, and becomes a gravel road after leaving Saskatoon. It is part of the longer but broken-up Township Road 364.
The City of Saskatoon's long-term plan for development of recently annexed lands to the east show a new commercial zone planned along the eastern extension of 8th Street, similar to what now exists along much of its established route.

“What a squalid and irresponsible little profession it is.... Nothing prepares you for how bad Fleet Street really is until it craps on you from a great height.”
—Ken Livingstone (b. 1945)
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
