'''Pembroke Parish''' is one of the nine parishes of [[Bermuda]]. It is named after English aristocrat [[William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke]] (1580–1630).
It occupies most of the short peninsula which juts from the central north coast of Bermuda's main island, and surrounds the city of [[Hamilton, Bermuda|Hamilton]] on three sides (the fourth being taken up by the shore of [[Hamilton Harbour, Bermuda|Hamilton Harbour]]). As such, its shape bears some passing resemblance to the county of [[Pembrokeshire]] in [[Wales]]. The peninsula juts into the eastern side of the [[Great Sound, Bermuda|Great Sound]], the large expanse of water which dominates the geography of western Bermuda. In the east, Pembroke meets [[Devonshire Parish, Bermuda|Devonshire Parish]]. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km<sup>2</sup> or 1500 acres). It had a population of 11,160 in 2016.<ref name="Bermuda 2016 Census">{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.bm/sites/default/files/2016%20Census%20Report.pdf |title=Bermuda 2016 Census |publisher=Bermuda Department of Statistics |date = December 2016|
