Brinsworth is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, England. It is situated close to the River Rother between Rotherham (to the north-east) and Sheffield (to the south-west). At the time of the 2001 census it had a population of 8,950, reducing to 8,789 at the 2011 Census.

Brinsworth became a new separate ward in May 2021 which covers the whole village beyond the parish boundary. This change was to accommodate an expanding neighbouring ward of Rother Vale - that includes the new mainly private housing estate of Waverley which has around 3,800 homes with its own school and lake frontage.
