Main Street is a historic street in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. It is part of the 18-mile-long (29 km) State Route 115 (SR 115), the eastern terminus of which is in Yarmouth at the intersection of Marina Road and Lafayette Street (SR 88), at Yarmouth Harbor in the Lower Falls area. Its western end is a merging with Walnut Hill Road in North Yarmouth, at which point SR 115 continues west.

There are three distinct sections of Main Street (from east to west): Lower Falls, Brickyard Hollow and Upper Village.

As it crosses Elm Street, Main Street continues as West Main Street into North Yarmouth. It is East Main Street, meanwhile, from Lower Falls to Granite Street, two miles (3.2 km) to the north. Between Lower Falls and Upper Village, Main Street is about 2.2 miles (3.5 km) long and sits about 90 feet (27 m) above sea level.

The annual Yarmouth Clam Festival attracts around 120,000 people (around fourteen times its population) over the course of the three-day weekend and is centered on Main Street.
