Brooklyn is a rural community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in West Hants Regional Municipality.

The former township of Newport incorporated all of modern-day Windsor, Nova Scotia and rural communities east of the Avon River.

Brooklyn saw increased development during the late 1800s after the Midland Railway built a line across Hants County between Windsor and Truro.

For the purposes of clarification, the provincial government's Geographic Names Board confirmed Newport as a post office within the community of Brooklyn on 10 November 2005.

The economy of the Brooklyn area has historically been dominated by agriculture, logging, sawmilling, and gypsum mining, but in recent years it is becoming a bedroom community for Halifax.
