Jervis Bay Village is a village in the Jervis Bay Territory. HMAS Creswell Royal Australian Navy base is located in the town. Apart from the navy base there is an Aboriginal community in the town. It is the largest town in the Jervis Bay Territory with 250 inhabitants (followed by Wreck Bay Village with 215).

The Australian Parliament selected the site of Captain's Point, Jervis Bay, for the Royal Australian Naval College on 7 November 1911. Construction of the main college buildings was completed in 1915 and the first two entries of cadet midshipmen moved from the temporary college at Geelong on 10 February 1915.
