Midtown Miami is a neighborhood in the city of Miami, Florida north of Downtown and south of the Design District. It is roughly divided by NE 20th Street to the south, I-195 to the north, I-95 to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east. Wynwood and Edgewater are sub-districts of Midtown.

Wynwood is a sub-district of Midtown and is on the western side. It is sometimes called an "arts district" due to its prevalence of artist studios and is also home to the Miami Fashion District on NW 5th Avenue from 23rd Street to 29th Street. Edgewater, another sub-district of Midtown forms the eastern side of Midtown and is mostly residential with many high-rise residential towers. The northern side of Midtown is home to Shops at Midtown, an outdoor shopping area which is home to many national retail chains and is the headquarters for Ocean Drive Magazine.
