Addressing error detection systems and methods are disclosed. A target address is written to a memory in an electronic system and subsequently output on an address path through which the memory is addressable. An addressing error is detected by determining whether the target address output on the address path is detected at the memory. Address detection at the memory involves storing the target address, monitoring the address path for the target address, and providing an address detection indication based on whether the target address is detected on the address path. The address detection indication may be provided, for example, by setting a flag in a data structure which is stored in the memory.
