Havenstreet is a village on the Isle of Wight, located about 2 miles southwest of Ryde.

The Isle of Wight Steam Railway Museum is in Havenstreet, along with a station. Every year, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway runs a "Santa Express" train from Wooton to Havenstreet, which is a center of Christmas-related activities. There is a pub called "The White Hart".

In 1917, John Willis Fleming, of Stoneham Park House, Hampshire, built a pair of ‘war memorials’, at North Stoneham near Eastleigh, and at Havenstreet, at a cost of 912 pounds. These war memorials were to honor the memory of his son Richard Fleming who had been killed in World War I, and be a memorial to all those who were killed in that war.

Public transport is provided by Wightbus routes 29 and 33, both of which run between Newport and Ryde.cite web | year = 2008 | url = http://www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk/se/XSLT_TTB_REQUEST?language=en&command=direct&net=set&line=08029&sup=C&project=y08&contentFilter=TIMINGPOINTS&outputFormat=0&itdLPxx_displayHeader=false | title = Traveline - Wightbus route 29 | publisher = www.traveline.org.uk | accessdate = 2008-09-28] cite web | year = 2008 | url = http://www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk/se/XSLT_TTB_REQUEST?language=en&command=direct&net=set&line=08033&sup=B&project=y08&contentFilter=TIMINGPOINTS&outputFormat=0&itdLPxx_displayHeader=false | title = Traveline - Wightbus route 33 | publisher = www.traveline.org.uk | accessdate = 2008-05-04]
