Sherbrooke is a rural community on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, in Guysborough County.

The community is named for Sir John Coape Sherbrooke, a colonial era Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.

The community is the site of an open-air museum called "Sherbrooke Village" which depicts life in the later 1800s in the wake of the gold rush era.

The St. Mary's River is home to the famous Atlantic Salmon, but as listed above they are no longer allowed to be fished due to their critically low population.

Surveys have been done along the St. Mary's River to learn the wood turtle population, their diet, habitat, and breeding grounds.

St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, built in nearby Goldenville in 1871, was moved to Sherbrooke in 1907.
