Brockport is a village located in the Town of Sweden in Monroe County, New York, USA. The population was 8,103 at the 2000 census. The name reportedly is derived from Hiel Brockway, an early settler.

The Village of Brockport is in the western part of Monroe County, west of the City of Rochester. The village is located north of the junction of New York State Route 19 (north-south) and New York State Route 31 (east-west) at the northern town line of Sweden.

Brockport calls itself the "Village of beautiful homes."

The Village of Brockport was incorporated in 1829. This village was founded around 1820 and grew to importance as a port on the Erie Canal, and the village was briefly the terminus of the canal until the western end of the canal was completed. The village name is purported to be a shorted form of "Brockways Port." The village's loss of its position as the terminus of the Canal dealt it a major economic blow, particularly in its trade of codliver oil and granite slabs, for which the town is known. Unemployment due to this led to rising juvenile delinquency, which resulted in a near-riot in the town in 1837, which was only stopped by the timely intervention by the state militia of New York.

The State University of New York College at Brockport is located here.

The Erie Canal runs through the village of Brockport, as well as several other villages/towns in the area.

Main Street (Route 19) contains many historical buildings, and is a minor tourist attraction. Also, the Erie Canal Boardwalk that runs from Main Street along the canal is a common spot for locals to enjoy a stroll.
