Wollstonecraft is a harbourside suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Wollstonecraft is located 5 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of North Sydney Council.
Wollstonecraft was named after Edward Wollstonecraft, the first settler to receive a land grant of 500 acres (2.0 km2) in the area, in 1825. Historical records quote him as saying that he left England to escape the notoriety of his aunt Mary Wollstonecraft, the author of "The Rights of Women".
Wollstonecraft railway station is on the North Shore Line of the City Rail network.
