Brixey is a former unincorporated community in northern Ozark County, Missouri, United States. It is located 1.6 miles (2.6 km) south of Route 95 on Route N or approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of Gainesville. The store and post office, along with houses along the main road, have been vacant and boarded up for several years as of 2023; there may still be a home or two within the community limits on the back roads, as the Brixeyj name and zip code is still in use for mailings.

Post office sign on the porch of the Brixey store

A post office called Brixey was in operation from 1917 to some time early in the 21st century, although its zip code, 65618, is still in use. The country store, in which it was housed, closed at the same time. A variant spelling was "Brixy". The community takes its name from nearby Brixey Creek
