Ditmas Park is a sub-neighborhood in western part of the Flatbush community in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, east of Kensington, and is one of three Flatbush neighborhoods which have been officially designated Historic Districts. Located on land formerly owned by the Ditmas family that remained rural until the early 20th century, the neighborhood consists of many large, free-standing Victorian homes built in the 1900s.

Ditmas Park is patrolled by the NYPD's 70th Precinct.Newkirk Avenue, Coney Island Avenue, and Cortelyou Road are the neighborhood's commercial strips while many of their east-west streets are lined with historic Victorian style homes. Since much of Ditmas Park is residential, many locals go to nearby Park Slope to run errands and shop, although the neighborhood has seen increased commercialization due to its recent gentrification.
