Blacktown is a suburb and a city (the City of Blacktown) in Sydney, Australia, and is adjacent to Seven Hills, Marayong, and Quakers Hill. The city is a major hub of Sydney's Greater West, and contains the suburb of Prospect, which is the site of Sydney's major reservoir, the Prospect Reservoir.
Blacktown was originally named for the fact that there was a Aboriginal settlement here. Today, Blacktown continues to be home to a large Aboriginal population, the largest of any suburb or township in New South Wales.
