Prestonfield is a primarily residential suburb in the south of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

It lies to the east of the A7 road, as it leaves the city centre, approximately 3 miles south of the centre.

The area was developed with housing in the interwar period with a series of private bungalows by James Miller and others alongside a council estate designed by Adam Campbell and built under City Architect Ebenezer J MacRae.

Pollock Halls of Residence and the Commonwealth Pool lie to the north.

The area was known as Priestfield until the late seventeenth century,[1] a name retained by some institutions and street names and revived by the parish church in 1975..
