社区农圃亦稱社区花园或社區園圃,為让社區居民进行园艺與農事耕作的场地。
社区农圃鼓励了城市社区的食品安全,让居民们可以种植作物供自己或捐给他人食用。农圃还可以避免人们在现代城市生活中的互相疏远,通过食物的来源来将居民们紧密联系在一起,并通过建构社会团体来打破人们的隔阂。还有研究发现,活跃的社区体验会减少犯罪与恶意破坏的行为。
區的社區園圃]]
在香港,政府的康樂及文化事務署在2004年起開始推行「社區園圃計劃」,在香港各區共21個的康文署轄下的公園內設置園圃讓市民有機會接觸種植活動。另外,除了一些位於郊區由原生產型農場轉型的社區農圃之外,在市區內亦有多個私營團體經營並出租俗稱「格仔田」的小型社區園圃,它們多位於工業大廈的天台或暫時荒置用地中。
