Capitol View is a neighborhood located in Southeast Washington, D.C, east of the Anacostia River. It is triangular in area, bounded by East Capitol Street to the north, Central Avenue SE to the southwest, and Southern Avenue to the southeast.

The easternmost neighborhood in the Southeast quadrant, Capitol View takes its name from the fact that the U.S. Capitol is in full, albeit distant, view on its western skyline.
