Auburn Gresham, one of the 77 official community areas, is located on the far south side of the city of Chicago, Illinois. It was the original location of the South Side Irish Parade before it was relocated to the Beverly neighborhood farther southwest in the city..

St. Sabina Church is located here, headed by Rev. Michael Pfleger. The church and Reverend have been pivotal in helping transform Auburn Gresham, with new housing and store fronts opening up in the neighborhood. As of 2007, one the largest new single-family home developments in Chicago is nearing completion at W. 87th St. and S. Parnell Ave., in the southeast corner of Auburn Gresham.

Auburn-Gresham is also home to the first urban S.O.S. Children's Village in the U.S.
