We discuss a general fourth‐order theory of gravity and formulate the generalized Israel junction conditions for the theory by application of a generalized Gibbons‐Hawking boundary term which is added to the action of the fourth‐order gravity theory. Next, we use the generalized Israel junction condition for the construction of a higher‐order gravity braneworld model.
