May Birchard (died July 30, 1968) was a municipal politician and poverty activist in Toronto, Canada. Born in Toronto she married F.J. Birchard, an agricultural scientist who was an expert on grain. During the First World War the family moved to Winnipeg. A self described left-wing Liberal May Birchard was a strong believer in the Canadian Social Gospel movement that originated in Winnipeg during the first part of the 20th century. In 1933, during the Great Depression, Birchard founded the The Good Neighbours' Club to aid unemployed men. A few years later a branch was opened in Toronto. The organization continues to operate with a drop-in centre on Jarvis Street.
