Rushbrooke was a village and former civil parish on the River Lark, 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Ipswich. It is now part of the parish of Rushbrooke with Rougham, in the West Suffolk District, in the county of Suffolk, England. Until April 2019 Rushbrooke was in the St. Edmundsbury District. In 1961 the parish had a population of 58. Its parish church was dedicated to St. Nicholas.
Rushbrooke Hall was a "stately home" in Rushbrooke. Originally named after the local landowning Rushbrooke family, between 1230 and 1703 the manor and estate was held by the Jermyn family. The older manor was largely demolished and remodeled in the mid-16th century by Sir Thomas Jermyn, to be replaced by a red brick, two-storey building in the Tudor style. It was demolished in 1961.
