Sunnyside is a neighborhood in the western portion of the New York City borough of Queens. It lies in the southern part of the wider Long Island City district in western Queens. It shares borders with Dutch Kills to the west, Astoria to the north, Woodside to the east and the Laurel Hills part of Maspeth to the south. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 2. The southern part of the neighborhood is home to the sub-neighborhood of Blissville.

Sunnyside, a rural hamlet mostly consisting of small farms and marshland, was incorporated into Long Island City in 1870, and developed into a bedroom community after the Queensboro Bridge was completed in 1909. A large portion of the neighborhood is six-story apartment buildings constructed during the 1920s and '30s. The land was originally owned by French settlers in the 1800s. Sunnyside is derived from Sunnyside Hill Farms, so named by the Bragraws family who owned the land.
