Sunset Park is a working class community composed primarily of Hispanics, Orthodox Jews, and Chinese in Brooklyn, New York City, New York.

The neighborhood is located south of Green-Wood Cemetery, which separates the area from its more affluent Park Slope neighbors to the north, while the Gowanus Expressway separates it from Bay Ridge to the south. It extends to the piers of Brooklyn and has views of Lower Manhattan and Staten Island. Southward, it extends as far as 65th Street, with the "main drag" along 5th Avenue.

Brooklyn's Chinatown is located in Sunset Park along 8th Avenue from 62nd to 42nd Street.

The park itself, Sunset Park, is located at 43rd Street and 5th Avenue. It has breathtaking views of the city of Brooklyn with Manhattan looming behind, as well as views of the famous Statue of Liberty.
