Carleton Heights is a neighbourhood located in Ottawa, Canada. It is bounded on the north by the Central Experimental Farm and Baseline Road, on the east by the Rideau River, on the south by the junction of Prince of Wales Drive and Fisher Avenue and on the Nepean side Fisher Glen and on the west by Fisher Avenue and the Nepean side Parkwood Hills.[1] The northern part of the neighbourhood is sometimes referred to as Hog's Back after the nearby falls. The total population of the neighbourhood is 8,157 according to the Canada 2006 Census.

Carleton Heights homes were developed after World War II. Most of the homes were built until 1950. More homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Henceforth, gradually, the 1950s "vet homes" were replaced or subsumed by larger, more expensive homes. Only a few vet homes are left today.

Carleton Heights has a community centre which is adjacent to the Carleton Heights Curling Club and Carleton Heights Public School.
