"Going Back to Brooklyn" is an album by American folk and blues singer Dave Van Ronk, released in 1994.

Although Van Ronk was primarily an interpretive singer of traditional folk and blues songs along with covers of the songs of others, he still wrote a number of songs over his long career. "Going Back to Brooklyn" is the only album he made that is devoted entirely to his own compositions. Many of the songs were written, and some recorded, years and even decades previous to this release; however, all of the songs on this release were re-recorded specially for this album.

"Going Back to Brooklyn" was re-released on CD in 2006 by Hightone Records.
