Greenhills is an urban barangay in San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is the largest barangay in San Juan, covering a total area of 2.09 square kilometers (209 ha) and spanning over a third of San Juan's total land area.[3]

Centered and named after the Greenhills Shopping Center and its adjacent commercial establishments and gated communities, Barangay Greenhills is considered as a major commercial center of the city and of Metro Manila at large.[3]

The area was initially part of the Hacienda de Mandaluyon (Mandaluyong Estate), the estate holdings of the Augustinian Order. The land was later on sold to businessmen Don Francisco Ortigas and Phil Whitaker, who founded Ortigas & Company, which developed the area into multiple residential subdivisions and its centerpiece shopping center, to which it is known for today.[6]
