The Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 possesses a prominent nuclear starburst ringand a luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN). Evidence of an outflow in theinnermost nuclear region has been found in previous works. We detect theionized gas outflow on a larger scale in the galaxy using the archival VLT/MUSEand {\em Chandra} observations. The optical emission lines are modeled usingtwo Gaussian components, and a non-parametric approach is applied to measurethe kinematics of [O III] and $\rm H\alpha$ emitting gas. Line ratiodiagnostics and spatially resolved maps are derived to examine the origin ofthe outflow. The kpc-scale kinematics of [O III] is dominated by a blueshiftedcomponent whereas velocity map of $\rm H\alpha$ shows a rotational disk withcomplex non-rotational substructure. The starburst wind around thecircumnuclear ring is confirmed, and we find evidence of an AGN-driven outflowextending to a radial distance of $\rm \sim2$ kpc from the nucleus, with amorphology consistent with a nearly face-on ionization cone. The previouslyreported circumnuclear outflow resembles part of the bright base. We derivemass and energy outflow rates for both the starburst wind and the AGN-drivenoutflow. The estimated kinetic coupling efficiency of the kpc-scale AGN outflowis $\dot{E}_{\rm out}/L_{\rm bol}\sim 0.1\%$, lower than the thresholdpredicted by the ``two-stage'' theoretical model for effective feedback. Ourresults reinforce the importance of spatially resolved study to disentanglefeedback where AGN and starburst coexist, which may be common during the cosmicnoon of black hole and galaxy growth.
