Briar Hill-Belgravia is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto. It is bounded on the south by Eglinton Avenue West, on the west by the CN Railway tracks, on the north by a line north of Roselawn Avenue/Castlefield Avenue, ultimately running between Briar Hill Avenue and Stayner Avenue, and on the east by a line between Farleigh Crescent and Marlee Avenue. A second CNR rail alignment cuts east-west through the middle of the neighbourhood known as the Belt Line, although the tracks have been removed as of 2008 as part of the "York Beltline Trail".

The area is modest with house values and average incomes in the lower quadrant compared with the Toronto average. The area's inhabitants are diverse; there is a very large Roman Catholic base, and Italin, Russian, and Portuguese are widely spoken as home languages. More than half of the immigrant population of Briar Hill-Belgravia arrived after 1981, with a majority of immigrants in 1996 and 2001 arriving from the Philippines, with Tagalog becoming a major immigrant language of the neighbourhood.
