Broxburn (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Bhroc, pronounced [ˈs̪ɾa ˈvɾɔʰk]) is a town in West Lothian, Scotland.

The area developed rapidly during the Victorian era as a result of industrialisation related to shale oil extraction.

While much of the industry in the area is now diminished, the town has continued to grow following new residential development, resulting in Broxburn forming a conurbation with neighbouring Uphall.

The hamlet that grew up around her residence was then called Eastertoun (eastern town) after the land on which it stood.

The lands of Strathbrock were earlier owned by Freskin the Fleming, granted to him under a charter from King David I. Easter Strathbrock was burned to the ground sometime in 1443-4 during a conflict between William, Earl of Douglas, Lieutenant-General of Scotland, and William, Lord Crichton, Chancellor of Scotland.

[8] Broxburn remained an agricultural community until the development of the oil shale industry in the area during the second half of the nineteenth century.

Up until its closure in 2013, Hall's of Broxburn, a food manufacturer, employed around 1,700 employees at its meat processing plant to the east of the town.

For Local Government purposes, it is part of; the Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh Ward of West Lothian Council and is part of West Lothian Council 2nd ward, which also includes the nearby villages of Uphall and Winchburgh.

The A899 road passes directly through the centre of Broxburn where it is known as East and West Main Street.

Broxburn is served by multiple bus services operated by McGill's Scotland East, Lothian Country and E&M Horseburgh.

[18] Adjacent to the church is a hall dating to 1936 (now used by a local scout group) and a memorial chapel for Henry Erskine, 12th Earl of Buchan built in 1857, who lived nearby at Kirkhill House.

[21] The St Nicholas United Free Church of Scotland was built in 1890 in the Gothic style to a design by James Graham Fairley.

[26] There are also some other religious groups active in the town, including Jehovah's Witnesses and several evangelical Christian organisations.
