Corso Italia is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated on St. Clair Avenue West, between Westmount Avenue (just east of Dufferin Street) and Lansdowne Avenue. It is contained within the larger city-recognized neighbourhood of Corso Italia-Davenport, which is bounded on the west by the CNR tracks, on the north by a line north of Morrison Avenue, on the east by Westmount Avenue and Oakwood Avenue, and on the south by Davenport Road.

These areas, Humewood and Hillcrest, Bracondale and Corso Italia, are forever bonded by the new St. Clair Avenue West Streetcar Project which divides these two areas between north and south. The new streetcar project was developed to expedite traffic, to encourage more people to walk the streets, promote new business development and business improvement as well as to beautify its streetscape. It will, undoubtedly, enhance the desirability and beauty of Hillcrest Village and continue to make it that much more appealing to young families.
