Holybrook is a village on the outskirts of Reading in Berkshire. The parish takes its name from the Holy Brook, a watercourse which forms its southern boundary.
There is no village or hamlet called Holybrook, and the parish is largely made up of two recent suburbs of Reading, Beansheaf Farm and Fords Farm, together with that part of the older suburb of Calcot that lies south of the A4 Bath Road.
The civil parish is a recent creation, dating from 2000 when it was created from the part of Theale that lay to the east of the M4 motorway.
The parish has nevertheless an elected parish council.
