Macondray Lane is a small pedestrian lane on the southeastern side of Russian Hill in San Francisco, California. A wooded enclave in the heart of the city, it was recast by Armistead Maupin as Barbary Lane for his Tales of the City. Macondray Lane extends two blocks east-west between Leavenworth and Taylor Streets, paralleling Union and Green Streets. At the Taylor Street end, a set of steps descend from the lane to Taylor Street.
