Ulica Obi-Wana Kenobiego (Obi-Wan Kenobi's Street) is a street in the town of Grabowiec, Poland. It was named after Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in April 2005.

The initiator of naming the street after Kenobi was Leszek Budkiewicz, a Star Wars fan and a Community Council member. His motion was accepted by the Lubicz Community Council in the resolution XXVIII/373/04 of 30 December 2004, and came to life 14 days later.^[1]

Since then, the street has become a significant place for fan activities in Pomerania and Mazovia regions of Poland, to the point of holding large fan conventions and a local festivity, with the presence of the Star Wars actors Gerald Home and Paul Blake (in 2008)^[2], Kenneth Colley and Richard LeParmentier (in 2009), and David Prowse (in 2010).

On January 14, 2011 a picture of the street was featured as "Jedi Street WIN" on the website WIN!, a division of Fail Blog.^[3]
