Braswell is a city in Polk and Paulding counties in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Braswell had its start in 1882 when Southern Railway predecessor East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia Railroad was extended to that point.

Henry Braswell, in partnership with William McCracken, was in the land and timber business supplying crossties and bridge timbers to Southern Railway and Seaboard Air Line Railroad.

The original tunnel was bypassed in 1979 by cutting through Braswell mountain slightly to the east.
