For other places with the same name, see Morningside (disambiguation).

Morningside Heights is a neighbourhood in Scarborough, which is part of the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the northeast corner of the city, just north of the Malvern community and west of Rouge Park. The area got it's name from Morningside Avenue, which was extended north into the neighbourhood. The northern section of Morningside Heights is also known as Brookside.

The first phase of Morningside Heights development took place in 2002, and construction should be fully completed by 2008. The area has proved to be very diverse, with a considerable number of South Asian (predominantly Sri Lankan Tamils), Caribbean and Filipino residents among others. The TTC's 133 Neilson bus serves the area, with a connection to the Scarborough Centre RT station and Scarborough Town Centre.
