Broadfield is a neighbourhood within the town of Crawley in West Sussex, England. Broadfield is located in the south west of the town. It is bordered by Bewbush to the north, Southgate to the north east and Tilgate to the east.


Broadfield was built in several stages and is relatively densely populated. There is a mixture of property types, including private estates, housing association council houses and self-build.


Broadfield has one central shopping parade, which is the largest neighbourhood parade in the town. There is a wide variety of shops, a library, a church (shared by Anglicans, Catholics and the Broadfield Fellowship), mosque and a large medical centre. There is also a community centre which is run as a charitable organisation overseen by trustees from the churches.


There are two infant/primary schools in the neighbourhood, an adventure playground, several open spaces with football pitches, and Broadfield Stadium, home to Crawley Town FC.


Next to the stadium is Broadfield Park which used to be part of the Tilgate Estate. Broadfield House was the hunting lodge for the estate, and the park contains a small lake and some woods.


To the south of Broadfield are the Buchan Country Park and part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Pease Pottage. The latter is currently home to a scout camp.


Broadfield is served by various bus services including the 24 hour Crawley Fastway bus service to Gatwick.
