Broughton Village is a locality on the border of the Kiama and Shoalhaven local government areas in New South Wales, Australia.[3][4] It lies on the Princes Highway about 18 km southwest of Kiama and 39 km north of Nowra and on Broughton Creek. At the 2021 census, it had a population of 95.[2] Broughton Village is not to be confused with Broughton, a locality that lies to its immediate southwest or Broughton Vale, which lies to its immediate northwest.

The locality is named after Broughton, a local Dharawal man who was employed as a guide and intermediary for the early British colonists.[5]
