Horningsea Park is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Horningsea Park is located 39 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Liverpool and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.

In 1819, Joshua John Moore a British grazier was granted 500 acres (2.0 km²) in what was then known as Cabramatta. He named his property "Horningsea" after his birthplace, the village of Horningsea in Cambridgeshire, England. In the 1830s, he built a grand house which still stands to this day in Horningsea Park Drive and is listed on the Register of the National Estate. The house was at some stage home to Count Strzelecki, the Polish-born explorer who named Mount Kosciuszko. It was purchased around 1855 by Vaiben Solomon (1802–1860), and it was around this time it was first called Horningsea Park. Vaiben and his family lived there and ran the farm until 1872.

The suburb was part of neighbouring Hoxton Park and largely farmland until 1996 when Long Homes subdivided the area for housing and Liverpool Council named it after Moore's estate.

Carnes Hill Marketplace is a large shopping centre at the northern edge of the suburb. At the southern edge are the Trash and Treasure markets, a familiar landmark to passers by on Camden Valley Way.

There are two schools in Horningsea Park. The Holy Spirit Primary School is a Catholic school behind the Carnes Hill Marketplace. John Edmondson High School is a state high school on Horningsea Park Drive.

Cowpasture Road and Camden Valley Way are the main roads in and out of Horningsea Park, the latter providing connection to Liverpool and Camden. Horningsea Park is the terminus for four Busabout bus services to Liverpool, two via Cowpastures Road and Hoxton Park, and two via Camden Valley Way, Prestons and Lurnea. In 2015, railway stations opened in the neighbouring suburbs of Edmondson Park and Leppington.
