Brooklin is a community in the town of Whitby, Ontario, Canada.  It is located north of Whitby, at the south junction of Ontario Highways 12 and 7.
Brooklin was located primarily in rural area about two decades ago, but is now part of the urban Whitby with high population growth and infrastructure development. Brooklin is surrounded with hills covering the north and the west. The hills and forests that dominate the north are part of the South Slope of the Oak Ridges Moraine. It is located within the Lynde Creek Watershed which retains 19 to 26% of its forest cover.  The population has grown steadily since the early 1990s, with the addition of thousands of homes surrounding the heart of Brooklin.


The community is home to the Brooklin Village Museum, which was founded in 1975. The museum has a collection of over 1,000 artifacts and exhibits that depict life in rural Ontario from 1850-1950. It also offers educational programs for school groups and special events throughout the year including an annual Christmas open house with Santa Claus.
Brooklin is located within the federal riding of Whitby—Oshawa (formerly known as Durham) and provincially within Whitby—Oshawa (formerly known as Pickering).
