Brooklyn is a small suburb of Sydney along the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the Pacific Highway in the local government area of the Hornsby Shire. Brooklyn is the northern most suburb of Sydney in the eastern corridor along the Pacific Highway. The suburb is surrounded by the Muogamarra Nature Reserve and occupies a strip of waterfront along the southern bank of the Hawkesbury River, and had a population of 737 as of the 2021 census.

The town provides a range of amenities and activities, while maintaining a quiet village atmosphere. Brooklyn provides convenient access for North Shore residents and day trippers to the Hawkesbury River and Pittwater waterways for boating, swimming and fishing, and to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and Muogamarra Nature Reserve for bushwalking and scenic views. Hornsby Council is currently developing a 'Brooklyn Master Plan' to provide for further improvement of the amenities in the area.

Hawkesbury River railway station on the Central Coast & Newcastle line is served by Sydney Trains services to the city and the Central Coast and Hunter. The Pacific Highway and the M1 Pacific Motorway are both nearby and provide easy access to the town. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park borders the suburb to the south. Long Island runs parallel with the suburb on the opposite side of Sandbrook Inlet and is joined to Brooklyn by the railway causeway. Dangar Island is located to the northeast.
