Broxbourne is a town in Hertfordshire, England, north of London, with a population of 15,303 at the 2011 Census. It's located to the south of Hoddesdon, and to the north of Cheshunt. The town is near the River Lea, which forms the boundary with Essex, and north of the M25 motorway. To the west of the town are Broxbourne Woods, a national nature reserve. The Prime Meridian runs just east of Broxbourne.

The town of Broxbourne is not to be confused with the Borough of Broxbourne, the town has the same name as the borough, but is much smaller.

In 1935 the parish was substantially reduced in size when part of the parish was transferred to Brickendon Liberty parish and part to Hoddesdon Urban District.
