Greenwich is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Greenwich is located 7 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Lane Cove. The suburb occupies a peninsula on the northern side of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour), at the opening of the Lane Cove River.

It features beautiful harbour views, a few pockets of bushland, local shops, restaurants and cafes, a harbour swimming pool (with shark net) and Greenwich Public School. Given the suburb's boundaries with Lane Cove National Park, it features considerable wildlife including blue tongue lizards, rosellas and possums. This may be due to the vast array of ecosystems within such a small area, including rainforest and mangroves.

Greenwich ferry wharf provides access to the Inner Harbour ferry services, with ferry services to Circular Quay. A bus service from Greenwich Point runs to McMahons Point, Lane Cove and St Leonards. The closest train stations are at St Leonards and Wollstonecraft.

The Greenwich Village Games are held every four years and feature numerous sports and competitions held mainly at Bob Campbell Oval (Gore Creek Oval) and Lane Cove Aquatic Centre. Greenwich Sports Club, which was founded in 1936, organises football (soccer) for man and women and netball for girls.
