Wesley Heights is a small neighborhood of Washington, DC situated south of Tenleytown. The core of the neighborhood lies along Klingle Street near New Mexico Avenue Northwest, in Ward 3 and Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D.

Wesley Heights was developed by W.C. and A.N. Miller, who also developed the neighboring communities of Spring Valley and American University Park. It was one of the first master planned communities in the United States and featured such services as a shuttle to the Wisconsin Avenue streetcar and a community club house. It remains a wealthy, suburban residential enclave.
