Broughton Vale is a locality in the City of Shoalhaven in New South Wales, Australia.[2][3] It lies north of the Princes Highway at Berry between Nowra and Gerringong and on Broughton Mill creek. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 165.[1] Broughton Vale is not to be confused with Broughton Village or Broughton, which both lie to its immediate east.

The locality is named after Broughton, a local Dharawal man who was employed as a guide and intermediary for the early British colonists.[4]
