Weber Street {{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|iː|b|ər}}, or Waterloo Regional Road 8, is a major roadway in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The street is likely named after one of the Germans from Pennsylvania who migrated to the region ({{harvnb|Stroh|1930}}, {{harvnb|Stroh|1931}}, {{Harvnb|Uttley|1975|p=[https://books.google.ca/books?id=3kuO5hiG2xEC&pg=PA10 10]}}, Waterloo Region Generations, Henry Weber, David Weber). It is the only major street in Kitchener Waterloo with a Germanic name or named for German settlers in the region; most street names are in English.

Weber Street southern terminus is at the southern stub of King Street in Kitchener, and its northern terminus is at its intersection with King Street at the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market south of St. Jacobs. In addition to its two endpoints, Weber Street also crosses King Street in Waterloo, being generally northeast of King Street in Kitchener and southern Waterloo, and southwest of King Street in northern Waterloo.

Weber weaves through residential and commercial areas of Waterloo and Kitchener and is agricultural at the northern terminus.

The road is broken up into four parts due to the geographical direction of the road:

Kitchener

Weber Street East - Florence Avenue to Queen Street North
Weber Street West - Queen Street North to the Kitchener-Waterloo Boundary near Raitar Avenue

Waterloo

Weber Street South - Kitchener-Waterloo Boundary near Raitar Avenue to Erb Street East
Weber Street North - Erb Street East to King Street North south of St. Jacobs, Ontario

Weber Street intersects with a number of east-west thoroughfares:

Conestoga Parkway
Ottawa Street
Frederick Street
Victoria Street
Erb Street
Bridgeport Road
University Avenue
Columbia Street
King Street
Northfield Drive
