May Birchard (died July 30, 1968) was a municipal politician and poverty activist in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A self described left-wing Liberal, May Birchard was a strong believer in the Canadian Social Gospel movement that originated in Winnipeg during the first part of the 20th century.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, Birchard founded The Good Neighbours' Club to aid unemployed men.
She was also an advocate for the poor and for more social housing, including strong support for the Regent Park project that was built in her ward in the era.
In honour of her efforts a Toronto Community Housing Corporation building at Dundas and Broadview was named the May Birchard Apartments.
