Polwarth is a mainly residential area of Edinburghmarker, Scotlandmarker. It is bounded by Bruntsfieldmarker and Merchistonmarker to the east and south, Gorgiemarker and Dalrymarker to the north, and Craiglockhartmarker to the west.

The Union Canalmarker flows through Polwarth on its way from Edinburgh to Glasgow.

Although within the boundary of Merchiston Community Council, Harrison Park – on the north bank of the canal – is commonly taken to be part of Polwarth. Behind the tenements at the north of the park runs a footpath which was formerly track bed for the main line of the Caledonian Railway en route to the now-closed Princes Street railway stationmarker in the centre of the city. There was once a Merchiston Stationmarker on this line near the park.
