Blacktown Native Institution Site (Australia)

The Blacktown Native Institution Site is the heritage-listed site of a former residential school for Aboriginal and Māori children in the City of Blacktown, part of the Greater Sydney metropolitan area in Australia, built from 1822. The site is located at Richmond Road, Oakhurst, New South Wales.

The school, which previously operated in Parramatta, has also been called the Parramatta Native Institution and the Blacktown Institution. After the school closed, the Blacktown site was known as Lloydhurst, Epping and Epping Forest. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 18 November 2011.
