Lynbrook is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Casey. Lynbrook is positioned on the [[[South Gippsland Highway]]], 40km south-east of Melbourne CBD, slightly north-west of Cranbourne], and just south of the residential suburb of Hampton Park.
The suburb was developed by VicUrban, starting in 1994. When completed in 2005, Lynbrook will have 1750 households, approx. 5200 residents and a total area of 1.85 square kilometres. A special feature of the VicUrban development is the stormwater catchment which flows into the lake and wetlands where it is purified before being released into Dandenong Creek and into Port Phillip Bay.
Prior to 1994, the area now occupied by Lynbrook was part of Lyndhurst.

Lynbrook Primary School opened in January 2005 with an initial enrolment of 175 students, this is expected to grow to 800+ students by 2010. A site has been set aside for a Catholic primary school to be built in the future.
A maternal and child health centre was constructed by Casey Council and opened in early 2006. This centre also includes a pre-school kindergarten for the growing number of children in the area.
Banjo Paterson Park is a large park that services the recreation needs of the residents of Lynbrook.

The oval is home to the "Lynbrook Lakers" cricket team which fields a number of adult and children's cricket teams in the local league.
A large shopping centre development site on the corner of South Gippsland Highway and Lynbrook Boulevard was purchased by Coles Myer who will build and operate the complex. Construction of Lynbrook Village is expected to be complete by March 2007. Lynbrook Village will feature a 3,700sqm Coles Supermarket and Liquor outlet along with 33 speciality stores, a free standing Red Rooster and a petrol station.

[edit] Events
Carols by Candlelight is held every year in December which has a large crowd of local residents that gather under the stars to sing Christmas carols and share a good night out. This culminates in a spectacular fireworks spectacle. This year the Carols were cancelled due to not having enough people needed to run the event. The Carols were going to be held on Saturday 17th December 2006. The LRA hopes that the Carols will be able to run in 2007.
