Field is a neighborhood in the Nokomis community in south Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The neighborhood is bordered by East 46th Street on the north, Chicago Avenue on the east, Minnehaha Parkway on the south, and Interstate 35W on the west. Field shares a neighborhood organization with the Regina and Northrop neighborhoods.

Field takes its name from a local school, which in turn was named for Eugene Field, a writer of children's poetry. The largely residential neighborhood is characterized by small, two-bedroom pre-1940s stucco, brick, and stone houses. Chicago Avenue is the main commercial thoroughfare. Field features the Arthur and Edith Lee House historic place.
