'''Linley Point''' is a small peninsular suburb located on the [[North Shore (Sydney)|Lower North Shore]] of [[Sydney]], in the [[Local government in Australia|local government area]] of the [[Municipality of Lane Cove]], in the state of [[New South Wales]], Australia. It is approximately 10 kilometres north-west of the [[Sydney central business district]].
