The Avenue de Saint-Cloud is a thoroughfare in Versailles, France.

Avenue de Saint-Cloud is one of three avenues that fan out from Place d'Armes, in front of the Château de Versailles, along with Avenue de Paris and Avenue de Sceaux. Avenue de Saint-Cloud is the northernmost of the three. Heading east-northeast, it ends at the carrefour de Montreuil, at the Place Alexandre-Ier-de-Yougoslavie. Avenue des États-Unis extends it beyond the Montreuil crossroads, bending slightly to the north. It is 1,025 metres long and 78 metres wide. Medians planted with two rows of plane trees and equipped with bicycle paths separate the central traffic lanes from the two counter-alleys.
