Seventh Avenue, also known as the Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi Avenue,[2] is a signal free road located in Islamabad. It starts from the intersection on Khayaban-e-Iqbal (Margalla Road) near Islamabad Zoo, and ends at the intersection on Srinagar Highway.

Seventh Avenue was built at a cost of about PKR 70 million.[1] Recently, local traffic police decided to install speed cameras on the road to check over speeding motorists.[3]

On 25 February 2017, the Capital Development Authority decided to rename the road after the late writer Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi.[2]
