Cedarhurst is a village in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, on the South Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.

The Incorporated Village of Cedarhurst is located in the region of Long Island's South Shore known as the Five Towns.

Rail service arrived in 1869 which led people to the area, especially to the Rockaway Hunting Club, built in Cedarhurst in 1878.

A post office was established in 1884, and Ocean Point was renamed Cedarhurst, partly at the request of the Hunt Club.

[3] On November 22, 2019, a fire broke out at the Cedarhurst Shoppes, which affected five businesses of various types and significantly damaged them.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2), all land.

Italian-Americans (15.3%), Russian Americans (10.5%), Polish-Americans (9.7%) and Irish-Americans (6.9%) also make up a large percentage of the Five Towns community.
