Crows Nest is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Edward Wollstonecraft built a cottage, the 'Crow's Nest' and, according to his business partner Alexander Berry, chose the name "on account of its elevated and commanding position".

[3] Berry later built a more substantial Crow's Nest House on the estate in 1850, taking the name of the earlier cottage.

The land for the cemetery was donated to the Anglican Parish of St Leonards in 1845 by the prominent landowner and merchant, Alexander Berry.

They are interred in an unusual, pyramid-shaped tomb with his wife's brother, Edward Wollstonecraft, former owner of Crows Nest Farm, after which the area is named.

It is centred on the junction of five main roads about 1 kilometre north by northwest of the original site of Crows Nest House.
