Passage Brady, in the 10th arrondissement, was built in 1828. It spans 216 meters and originally connected Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis to Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin. The passage was split into two sections when Boulevard de Strasbourg was constructed in 1852. Only the section at 46 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis remains covered.

The passage is known for its Indo-Pakistani, Mauritian, and Réunionnais restaurants and shops.
