Kingsview Village is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the north end of the former city of Etobicoke, and is bounded on the north by Highway 401, on the east by the Humber River and St. Phillips Road, on the south by Dixon Road. It is relatively close to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, and TTC bus routes connect it to the rest of the city.

This neighbourhood is home to a multicultural diverse community that contains amongst others a sizable Somali population and an Indian and Pakistani population.It has many religions but is mostly inhabited by people following Islam (Muslims). From single family homes to high rises, this is a diverse neighbourhood in all aspects.

Kingsview is a recent name for the residential development north of Dixon Road, on the site of a number of estates owned by the Dixon Family. The name 'Kingsview' is a reference to the neighbourhood's position on high ground, north of the top of the street 'The Kingsway'.
