Field is a neighborhood in the Nokomis community in south Minneapolis. It is bordered by 46th Street East on the north, Chicago Avenue on the east, Minnehaha Parkway on the south, and Interstate 35W on the west. Field shares a neighborhood organization with the Regina and Northrop neighborhoods.

The neighborhood takes its name from a local school, which in turn was named for Eugene Field, a writer of children's poetry.

This largely residential neighborhood, is characterized by small, two-bedroom pre-1940s stucco, brick, and stone houses. Chicago Avenue is the main commercial thoroughfare.
