Pleasant View is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that is located in the district of North York at the northern end of the city. It is bordered by Victoria Park to the East, Sheppard Avenue to the South, Highway 404 to the west and the Finch hydro corridor to the north (north of Finch Avenue). The neighbourhood is home to several high-rise apartment and condominium buildings, such as The Clippers.

This has become a popular area for immigrants and many Chinese are arriving and settling in the area. The area also has a sizeable Italian and Greek population, among others. There is a huge percentage of house ownership in the area and the neighbourhood would be classified as middle income, with people on both ends of that spectrum.

Two public school boards operate schools in Pleasant View, the separate Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), and the secular Toronto District School Board (TDSB).

Both TCDSB, and TDSB operate public elementary and middle schools in the neighbourhood. TCDSB operates two elementary schools in the neighbourhood, St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School, and St. Gerald Catholic School. TDSB operates a number of institutions that offer primary education. They include:

The French first language public secular school board, Conseil scolaire Viamonde, and it separate counterpart, Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir also offer schooling to applicable residents of Pleasant View, although they do not operate a school in the neighbourhood, with CSCM and CSV students attending schools situated in other neighbourhoods in Toronto.

The Pleasant View is home to Pleasant View Community Centre, and several municipal parks, including Clydesdale Park, Muirhead Park, Old Sheppard Park, and Van Horne Park.
