Daceyville (formerly Dacey Garden Suburb[2]) is a suburb in the Eastern Suburbs[3] of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Daceyville is 7 km south of the Sydney central business district and is now part of Bayside Council (formerly the City of Botany Bay).

Daceyville is a quiet, leafy residential suburb, surrounded by the suburbs of Pagewood and Kingsford. The northern area of Pagewood was designed as part of the original Dacey Garden Suburb plan, as an extension of Daceyville. Many of the street layouts and park layouts in Pagewood remain unchanged from the original Dacey Garden Suburb plan.[4]

Daceyville features Australia's first cul-de-sac street on Colonel Braund Crescent.[5] Cook Avenue and Banks Avenue in Daceyville are some of the most unique residential avenues in the surrounding area, with trees lining both the sides and (very unusually) the medians of the roads, in a similar style to that of Anzac Parade.
