Silverwater is a suburb in western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

It may have been a reference to the nearby Parramatta River which could have provided silver reflections of light off the water.

It has companies which have successfully been operating in the area for over 50 years due to its central Sydney location.

Whilst the suburb was initially developed as a medium/heavy industrial area, it has been redeveloped into a premier light industrial/commercial district with some pockets of residential dwellings.

Just south of Silverwater is Red Yard, which has numerous commercial and restaurant complexes.
