Birdseye is an unincorporated community in southeastern Utah County, Utah, United States.
The community is located on the back of the Wasatch Range, southeast of Loafer Mountain along U.S. Route 89 at the confluence of Bennie Creek and Thistle Creek.[1]
Birdseye was settled in 1885 and originally named Summit Basin and later Clinton. The present name "Birdseye" was chosen because of the nearby birdseye marble located in the quarries near Indianola.[2]
