Commack is a census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 36,367 at the 2000 census.

Commack straddles the Town of Huntington and the Town of Smithtown. It is located on Long Island.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Commack, NY CDP has a total area of 31.2 km² (12.1 mi²), all land.

The name Commack comes from the Secatogue Indians who lived on the south shore between Copiague and Bayport. They named their northern lands in the center of the island Winnecomac meaning "Pleasant lands." This is what they must have thought when they looked over this area of flat lands with rich soil, and thick oak forests abounding with plants and wildlife. From the earliest days Commack was known for its fertile soil, abundance of game, and wood. It can be debated, but one of the first settlers was Andrew Brown who was a general during the French and Indian War.

Today all of Commack is settled and suburbanized and, like most unincorporated areas of Long Island, does not have a true, walkable downtown or "Main Street." The community is served by four major thoroughfares: the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway, the Sunken Meadow State Parkway and the at-grade Jericho Turnpike. It also includes the historic Long Island Motor Parkway, which itself included the Spur to NY 25 that later became Harned Road.
