Nørre Alle (literally "North Avenue") is a street in Copenhagen, Denmark, running from Blegdamsvej in Nørrebro in the south to Vibenshus Runddel in Østerbro in the north. It runs through University of Copenhagen's North Campus which is centred on its junction with Tagensvej. The section north of the junction, which separates Fælledparken to the east from the University Park to the west, is a busy artery. De Gamles By is situated on the west side of the more quiet, western portion.

The avenue was constructed across Nørrefælled (North Common) in 1744. It replaced an older road with almost the same course which is already seen on a map from 1695.

Almindeligt Hospital was located on the west side of the street from 1892 but relocated to the former Sankt Johannes Stiftelse in Ryesgade. The football club Akademisk Boldklub was based at the street from 1924 until the 1960s.

Collegium Juris' building (No. 6) was built as residences for nurses at the nearby Blegdam Hospital in 1917 and was later expanded in 1934. It was adapted for its current use as dormitory at the initiative of UCPH's Faculty of Law by Lundgaard & Tranberg. The cormitory opened in 2012 and now houses 48 Danish and international students.

On the other side of the street, VerdensKulturCentret (No. 7) is a venue for vross cultural actyivities. It is located in a former municipal school building from 1887.

The Alderstrøst charitable housing complex (Nørre Allé 15–19) was built by Håndværkerforeningen and contained affordable housing for old craftsmen. The buildings at No. 15 and No. 19 were completed in 1895 to design by Thorvald Sørensen. The building at No. 17 was built in 1939 by Henning Hansen.
