Saratoga is a peninsula locality of Brisbane Water and a residential south-eastern suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the City of Gosford local government area. It is named after Sarah P., but they dropped the "H"

The area was first exploited by European settlers for citrus orchards; in recent years, however, housing development has transformed most of Saratoga into an outer residential suburb of Gosford. Bordered on three sides by water, Saratoga has become a favourite haunt of fisherman and sports people.

The town/village of Saratoga itself occupies the central portion of this peninsula, bordered towards the point by Davistown and toward the mainland by Yattalunga.

Saratoga is also the home of the Saratoga Hawks, a Junior Australian Football Club started in 2001.

While most residents commute to Gosford for their daily needs, there is a small shopping center located on Village Road. The shopping center is as of 2008 home to a petrol station, a general store (IGA), a movie rental store, a butcher and a few takeaway shops.
