A URL is a specific locator for a page within a website.
A Web Address is the index.html or main page of a web address or website,
from within this website you may find hundreds of different pages that have specified URLs,

They overlap significantly, but they are not exactly the same.
A URL is a specific format used to locate resources on the Internet. They can be web servers (if they start with 'http://' or 'https://'), but they don't have to be. "mailto:billg@microsoft.com" is a URL but not a web address.
A web address is the address of a web server or page, but it can be in any format. "www.microsoft.com" is a web address, but it is not an URL. "http://www.yahoo.com" is both an URL and a web address.

URL, contrary to some other answers, is not "Universal Resource Locator;" It is "Uniform Resource Locator," which is a type of "Uniform Resource Identifier."
A web address might just mean the address of your home, but assuming you do not have eight legs, it would be the same as a Uniform Resource Locator; this is also known as a "Domain Name."

URL and web address are the same thing. answers.yahoo.com is both an address and a URL.
A properly formatted URL will have 'http://' (or one of several other possiblities) on the front of the address.
