Cleveland is a small, quiet community located in Greenville County, South Carolina, in the United States. It is called an unincorporated community. This means it's a place where people live together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county.

Cleveland is found along two important roads: U.S. Route 276 and South Carolina Highway 11. It's about 8.7 miles (14 km) north of a town called Travelers Rest. In 2020, about 1,347 people lived in Cleveland. The community has its own post office with the ZIP code 29635, which opened in 1900. A special building called Fred W. Symmes Chapel also opened here in 1941.
