Brockworth is a village and parish in the Borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, on the old Roman road that connects the City of Gloucester with Barnwood. It lies southeast of central Gloucester, southwest of Cheltenham and north of Stroud. The population at the 2021 census was 9,422, an increase on the 7,387 recorded in 2011.
Since the mid-20th century, Brockworth has been known locally for the annual rolling of Double Gloucester cheese down Cooper's Hill. During World War II the Gloster Aircraft Company produced the famous Hawker Hurricane fighter, and following the war it gained renewed fame for producing several notable aircraft, including Britain's first jet aircraft, which was test flown here.
