Polwarth is a mainly residential area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is bounded by Bruntsfield and Merchiston to the east and south, Gorgie and Dalry to the north, and Craiglockhart to the west.

The Union Canal flows through Polwarth on its way from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Harrison Park adjoins the canal and is well used by residents of Polwarth and adjoining areas. Behind the tenements at the north of the park runs a footpath which was formerly track bed for part of the Caledonian Railway en route to the former Princes Street railway station in the centre of the city.
