Lakeview is a residential community in the southwestern quadrant of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Nestled between Glenmore Trail SW and Glenmore Reservoir, its boundaries stretch from Crowchild Trail SW to 37th Street SW, the western city limits at this point. The Tsuu T'ina Nation Indian reserve borders it to the west.

In 2006, Lakeview had a population of 5,581[1].

The community was founded in 1962, six years after the city of Calgary annexed the land it was built on. The name Lakeview was chosen quite obviously for the view of Glenmore Reservoir its location afforded.

Residences south of 66th Avenue are part of a smaller development named Lakeview Village, which features larger, more expensive homes.

Unusually, residents living east of 30th Street may also have membership with the neighbouring North Glenmore Park Community Association.
