Woodside is an unincorporated middle income urban locality of Dartmouth, within the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia.

Because the local economy was driven by the refineries, Woodside was predominantly a working class community.

There was at one point consideration to incorporate Woodside as a town, but the idea was rejected by the provincial government.

On the grounds next to the Nova Scotia Hospital, the NSCC Ivany Campus has been built.

Also a new shopping mall, Dartmouth Gate, is under development at the site of the former Hershey Moirs chocolate factory.
