Victoria Village, is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada bounded on the west by the Don Valley, on the north by Lawrence Avenue East, on the east by Victoria Park Avenue, and on the south by Eglinton Avenue East. It is located in the southeast of the former city of North York. Prior to amalgamation, Victoria Village sat at the boundaries of Scarborough, where the west side of Victoria Park Avenue was considered North York, the east side of Victoria Park was Scarborough and south of Eglinton seen as East York. For this reason, the three municipalities were connected at the intersection of Eglinton and Victoria Park and O'Connor and Victoria Park. Its population is diverse in ancestral backgrounds with a larger proportion of South Americans than most of the city.
