Easiest way is System Preferences - Network. Select Wireless or Ethernet or whatever you're using, should be up in the top right.
Got it Thanks

Will this address be the same for my Imac and droid phone?
If you do what NMS mentioned, that will give you your local, internal IP issued by your router. But if you want your public facing "real" IP address, you can just go to one of the many sites like this link that will show it to you.
http://www.ipchicken.com
Any devices in your house that are using the same router will all be in this same IP address.
If I am setting up a remote desktop control app.....do I use the internal router IP or the "real" IP Address?
Also......I went to IP Chicken......is that IP Address in Big Blue Letters my "real" IP address?
Ok Thanks.....and by the way, do you have any favorite remote desktop application for the MacBook Pro?
erm... maybe.
The only one that I have used, Apple Remote Desktop. But, I haven't needed that for 6 or 7 years, so I don't know if it is still worth the money.
You can search for Remote Desktop at the App Store, with a few choices showing up.
Or, maybe someone else will chime in here.
Do you need more than Apple's built-in screen sharing?

No. Just something basic. My MacBook is really old and has slowed to a crawl, so to tide me over, I figured I would just use my iPhone 7 Plus for a few months until I get my new MacBookPro.
I don't know how to connect to a Mac from an iPhone, but I bet you can google that pretty easily.
maybe THIS.
Which MBPro do you have (year?) 2010, 11, 2012 MBPro can really see an improvement by swapping out a spinning hard drive to an SSD - and perhaps give you another couple of years on your present system. maybe...
