The Battery Park City Ferry Terminal provides slips to ferries, water taxis, and sightseeing boats in the Port of New York and New Jersey. The floating dock is located on the Hudson River and moored at the foot of Vesey Street in Hudson River Park in Battery Park City, Manhattan. It is near the World Financial Center, which in local nomenclature lends it name to such terms as World Financial Center ferry, WFC Ferry Terminal and the like used before and since the opening.

Commissioned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey which owns it, the facility opened 2009 to replace a landing to which service began in 1989. There are four bow-loading and two side loading slips at the terminal. The mono-hull structure is the largest of its type in the world, covering 0.75 acres (0.30 ha) acres, its two towers anchored to bedrock 75 feet below the water's surface.
