Bloordale Village is a neighbourhood located in Toronto, Ontario. Founded as a Business Improvement Area in 1976, it covers the area along Bloor Street from the intersections at Lansdowne Avenue and Dufferin Street.

The neighbourhood contains Dufferin Grove Park and Dufferin Mall, as well as two strip clubs, the House of Lancaster and Club Paradise.

The strip contains Bloor Collegiate Institute, and houses a largely immigrant and lower-income community. Pockets of Bengali, Latin American, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Portuguese populations exist in the area. It is estimated that approximately 80% of residents have a native language other than English.[1]

The location of the neighbourhood is easily confused, since Bloordale Park is located between the Dundas and Dixie Rd intersections with Bloor.
