Shirlington is a population center officially called an "urban village" in the southern part of Arlington County, Virginia, United States, adjacent to the Fairlington area. The word "Shirlington" is a combination of "Shirley" (from the Shirley Highway or Interstate 395) and "Arlington." It is mostly middle-class residential, but like most of Arlington County has been experiencing an economic renaissance and is now home to many upscale dwellings and retail and service establishments that also serve the nearby Fairlington, Parkfairfax, and Nauck areas.

Shirlington lies in the valley of Four Mile Run, a tributary of the Potomac River, and is the site of the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park rail trail trailhead. Shirlington lies adjacent to I-395 and is immediately accessible from Shirlington Circle (Exit 6 on I-395). It is home to WETA-TV and WETA-FM radio.
