Birdland is a neighborhood in San Diego, California. It is located between California State Route 163, Interstate 805 and Mission Valley. Most of the streets in the area are named after different bird species, hence the name of the community.

Although identified as a separate community, Birdland is within the city of San Diego’s Serra Mesa Planning Area.
Birdland is located in City Council District 7 and is currently represented by Councilmember Scott Sherman.
Most of Birdland was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In planning documents, the area is identified as "El Dorado." While much of the neighborhood consists of single-family homes, there are also three large apartment communities.
The area is best known for its medical facilities, including:
The area also houses a juvenile detention facility: San Diego Juvenile Hall.
