The Brooklyn Book Festival is a book fair held every year in the fall in Brooklyn, New York.

The festival was established in 2006 in order to represent the "Brooklyn voice" in literature, but has expanded its scope to include many non-Brooklyn and international writers.

The festival includes a range of activities such as book readings, panel discussions, author signings, book selling, a children's day, Bookend Events, parties, stand-up shows, and performances in many public venues in Brooklyn.

During the festival, St. Francis College announces the winner of a biannual literary prize aimed at supporting a mid-career writer, which is worth US$50,000.
