Bankhead is an Atlanta, Georgia neighborhood located west of downtown Atlanta. It's surrounded by Grove Park to the west, West End to the south, Vine City to its east, and with Berkely Park and Home Park to the north. At its center is MARTA's Bankhead station and the city's Maddox Park. Grove Park Elementary, A.D. Williams Elementary School, Carter G. Woodson Elementary School, Alfred Blalock Elementary School, and Frederick Douglass High School, are the neighborhood schools.
The neighborhood's name comes from the Bankhead Highway, a thoughoughfare that has since been renamed the Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway (for a famed civil rights attorney who lived near Bankhead in the nearby Historic Collier Heights neighborhood).

The Bankhead neighborhood has also been the location of one movie shoot, in September 2006. One Missed Call (a remake, released in 2008, of a 2004 Japanese horror movie) was partially filmed at the abandoned school building by Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and English Avenue.
Bankhead is home to numerous public housing projects and section 8 apartment complexes. Local gang activity and poverty have contributed to high crime. Bankhead is also the former home to rappers T.I.(See Above note), Shawty Lo , Dem Franchize Boyz , and D4L
Some revitalization has begun in the area with projects such as the English Avenue Yards, which houses an artist community consisting of approximately 20 studio spaces, the workshop for the Alliance Theatre Company, Atlanta Ballet and Atlanta Opera. In addition, new lofts are scheduled to be built by Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy and Oliver Street, as well as a new Shell gas station that is currently under construction across the street.
