Fair Haven is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, set on the Rumson Peninsula along the south bank of the Navesink River in the Jersey Shore region.

Fair Haven was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 28, 1912, from portions of Shrewsbury Township, following a referendum held on April 23, 1912.

The 2020 United States census counted 6,269 people in Fair Haven, the borough's highest decennial population ever, and Census Bureau QuickFacts reports about 2,046 households in its 2020–2024 survey data.

Fair Haven covers roughly 1.7 square miles and is bordered by Red Bank and Little Silver to the west, with Middletown Township across the Navesink River.

Small portions of land were exchanged between Fair Haven and neighboring Red Bank on June 17, 1957.

River Road is Fair Haven's commercial spine, running east–west through the borough between Red Bank and Rumson.

Fair Haven's public school students attend Knollwood School in the borough for middle school, one of the two feeder schools to the regional high school.

For grades 9–12, Fair Haven students attend Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in neighboring Rumson, which serves both peninsula boroughs and competes in the Shore Conference.
