Stuyvesant Heights is a sub-neighborhood in north-central Brooklyn, a part of the greater Beford-Stuyvesant neighborhood within New York City's Borough of Brooklyn. It was a part of New York City settled in the mid-17th century before the borough of Brooklyn was incorporated as a city. The area, presently gentrifying, can boast of some of Brooklyn's most handsome and historic brownstones and grand old apartment buildings.

Stuyvesant Heights is one of the four neighborhoods comprising the widely-known enclave of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The other neighborhoods are Bedford, Ocean Hill, and Weeksville, although this latter is now largely within the more recently developed neighboring neighborhood of Crown Heighs instead.
