Tras Street (map) is a subsidiary street in the Tanjong Pagar area, in downtown Singapore. It runs two-ways from Enggor Street to the intersection with Wallich Street, and a one-way street heading north from Wallich Street until ending at Cook Street.

Tras Street also forms an intersection with Gopeng Street and Peck Seah Street. Originally Tras Street continued to Maxwell Road, but that section has been redeveloped and today is occupied by Maxwell House.
The street was created in 1898, and was supposedly named after a place in Malaya (though I am not sure where that is). Today it forms a boundary between the skyscrapers of the Central Business District and the shophouses of Chinatown.
