Berrima Gaol is a heritage-listed former prison in Berrima, New South Wales. Established in 1839, it was used for a variety of prison and internment purposes until its final closure in 2020, at which point it was the oldest Australian correctional facility in operation. The site was subsequently sold into private ownership in 2022.
The gaol was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
