Ulica Próżna (lit. Empty street) is a street in Warsaw, Poland. It is the only former Warsaw Ghetto street still featuring as many as four tenement houses.[1]

The street is one of the few fragments of "Jewish Warsaw" in which the climate of the old Jewish quarter is revived during the Festival of Jewish Culture – Singer’s Warsaw. The festival has been held annually every September in Próżna Street and Grzybowski Square since 2004.

In 2011−2013 buildings at number 7 and 9 underwent extensive renovations and have become office space. The Austrian Cultural Forum is located on number 7.[2]

The landmark PAST Tower, which was also a symbol of the Polish resistance, is right around the corner of the street.
