Amherstview is a community in Loyalist Township, Ontario.

It is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario and has a population of approximately 10,000. It is adjacent to the city of Kingston. Amherstview is named for Amherst Island, located directly to the south in Lake Ontario. When the community was first established in the 1950's, the spelling was generally "Amherst View".

The community is the eastern end of the Loyalist Parkway, a stretch of Highway 33 that travels along Lake Ontario, in an area in which many United Empire Loyalists settled.

Since Amherstview is part of Loyalist Township, it has no legal boundaries. General boundaries are Lake Ontario to the south, the Canadian National rail line to the north, Coronation Boulevard to the east (the City of Kingston boundary), and Lennox and Addington County Road 6 to the west.
