Milton Park (French: Milton-Parc), is a neighbourhood in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is named after the neighbourhood's two main streets, Milton Street and Park Avenue. It is situated directly to the east of the McGill University campus in the borough of Plateau-Mont-Royal. The area is roughly bordered by University Street and the university campus to the west, Sherbrooke Street to the south, Pine Avenue to the north, and Park Avenue and the Lower Plateau neighbourhood to the east, though McGill University considers this area to extend as far east as Saint Laurent Boulevard or just short of Saint-Louis Square.

The neighbourhood has many historic townhouses built in the late 19th century, which housed affluent businessmen and their families. The area remained a wealthy enclave throughout the early half of the 20th century. Eventually, many of the affluent residents of the area moved to other boroughs such as Westmount or to the suburbs.

Many McGill students live in this area, which is characterized by a mix of rowhouses and low- to mid-rise apartment buildings. The area has many small businesses catering to the needs of the local McGill community including The Word Bookstore, Café Lola Rosa, and several small convenience stores, as well as many "third place" hangouts.^[5]
