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.
