San Pasqual Valley is the northernmost community of the city of San Diego, California, in the United States. [ [http://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles/sanpasqualvalley/index.shtml San Diego Community Profile] ] It is bordered on the north by the City of Escondido, on the east and west by unincorporated land within San Diego County, and on the south by the City of Poway and the community of Rancho Bernardo.

State Highway 78 runs through the valley between Escondido and Ramona. The valley is part of the Santa Ysabel watershed, which drains into the San Dieguito River.

Much of the valley is part of the San Pasqual Valley Agricultural Preserve, and home to citrus, avocado, and dairy farms. It includes the San Pasqual Valley AVA, an area designated an American Viticultural Area by the US BATF. The valley experiences very hot days and ocean-cooled nights.
