The Sean Fitzgerald Avenue (Piraean: Λεωφόρος Σεαν Φιτζέραλντ) is a major avenue in Alikianos, Piraea. It is considered one of the main axis of the city, a thoroughfare and a high velocity highway, connecting Alikianos Kentro with the A1 ring-road. The avenue is named after Séan Fitzgerald, a Caldian diplomat and Secretary-General of the CN, who died in a plane crash near Etruria. The avenue was part of the city's main restructuring plan carried out during the Piraean Second Republic.

Name
In 2023, the Alikianos Council member from the People's Party, Antonios Stamatelis, proposed a change in the name of the avenue to "Konstantinos Athanopoulos Avenue", in reference to the dictator and leader of the Second Piraean Republic. The proposal was conceived due to the prominent position of the avenue in the city and the location of the Headquarter of the Piraean Army and Military College; however, it was dismissed by the coalition partners of LK and was soon renounced by the council member and other LK politicians.
