Convoy Street in San Diego, California, also known as just Convoy, refers to a street in a community called Kearny Mesa. The street is a main traffic artery within Kearny Mesa that runs roughly north/south and crosses other major streets such as Balboa Avenue and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.

Convoy is located close to the heart of San Diego county and is situated between the communities of Clairemont to the west, Tierrasanta to the east, Miramar/Mira Mesa to the north, and Linda Vista/Serra Mesa to the south. The area is bordered by the major highways of San Diego. Kearny Mesa can generally be pictured as an area described as an upside down triangle: where Highway 52 borders the top side on the north and the two other sides being represented by Interstate 805 to the west and Highway 163 to the east.

Convoy Street in Kearny Mesa is recognized by many Asians in San Diego County because the area is known for being the home to a diverse community of Asian-owned businesses. Unlike other California cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, where Chinatowns and Koreatowns are existent, San Diego does not contain specific communities that cater entirely to one specific Asian culture. There are communities along University Avenue and in Linda Vista that are home to predominantly Vietnamese businesses and Filipino business communities that are somewhat prevalent in areas like National City and Mira Mesa. However for the most part, none of these places are really locally referred to as "Filipinotowns" or "VietnameseTowns".

Kearny Mesa is unique in that there are many diverse businesses that are owned and representative of all the different Asian cultures. There are many Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai eating establishments that are scattered across the Convoy Street area. One can enjoy anything ranging from boba milk teas, BBQ, seafood, pho, ramen, and more. Moreover, there are many markets that cater to all the different cultures, including 99 Ranch Market on the north end (along Clairemont Mesa Blvd.), Zion and Mitsuwa markets in the east/central areas (near Balboa Ave, along the Hwy. 163 side), or the Nijiya market on the south end (just before crossing the I-805 overpass past Aero Dr.).
