- Birch Cliff is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the southwest part of the old city of Scarborough running along the shore of Lake Ontario atop the western part of the Scarborough Bluffs. Birch Cliff has a large Irish population. About one-third of Birch Cliff residents are of Irish origin. The area was first developed as the home of the Toronto Hunt Club in 1895 when the region was still mostly farms and woodland. Around the club and number of cottages were erected, and one of these was named "Birch Cliff." The Victorian dwelling (believed to exist today but significantly altered) was built on Springbank Avenue for John Stark, who named it after the birch trees along the edge of the nearby Scarborough Bluffs. This name was also adopted by the local post office, and became the name for the neighbourhood. The area can also be broken down to two smaller areas west of Warden Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue:
* Blantyre located north of Kingston Road and east of Victoria Park Avenue to west of Warden Avenue
* Fallingbrook located south of Kingston Road and east of Victoria Park Avenue to west of Warden Avenue (en)
