thumb|300px|The quarter of Langstrasse in Zurich Langstrasse () is a street and quarter in district 4 in Zurich. Langstrasse begins near the district courts and extends north-northeast to the train tracks of Zürich Hauptbahnhof. The following short segment of Langstrasse leads towards Limmatplatz in Industriequartier (district 5). Langstrasse is also referred to as a general area including the street and its surrounding tertiary streets.
The quarter has a population of 10,500 on an area of 1.13 km². It is notorious as Zurich's red light district, with an above-average crime rate, drug dealing and brothels. It is also the most overtly multicultural spot in Zurich, with a rate of 42% foreign residents, among the highest in Zurich. Due to the problems in this district, the City Council approved the comprehensive project "Langstrasse PLUS" on 14 March 2001 to achieve an improvement in public order and safety.
