Broughton Vale is a locality in the City of Shoalhaven in New South Wales, Australia. It lies north of the Princes Highway at Berry between Nowra and Gerringong and on Broughton Mill creek. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 165. Broughton Vale is not to be confused with Broughton Village or Broughton, which both lie to its immediate east.

The locality is named after Broughton, a local Dharawal man who was employed as a guide and intermediary for the early British colonists.
