Fairview Park is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States.

Fairview Park was originally part of Rockport Township, later the Rocky River hamlet.

Both Fairview Village and Parkview remained small suburbs of its neighboring Cleveland (which had annexed most of what was West Park in 1923).

In 1929, an economic recession in Fairview led to consideration of annexation to Cleveland.
