Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is an NHS trust based in London, United Kingdom. It is one of the largest NHS trusts in England and together with Imperial College London forms an academic health science centre.

The trust was formed in October 2007 by the merger of Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and St Mary's NHS Trust and their integration with Imperial College Faculty of Medicine. It currently manages five hospitals: Charing Cross Hospital; Hammersmith Hospital; Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital; St Mary's Hospital and Western Eye Hospital. In 2012/13 Imperial College Healthcare had a turnover of £971.3 million, employed approximately 9,770 people and treated almost 1.2 million patients.

In July 2014 it was revealed that the Trust was intending to sell more than half of Charing Cross hospital, 45% of St Mary’s and the whole of the Western Eye Hospital to raise around 40 per cent of its redevelopment costs. Charing Cross will be replaced with a £150m “local hospital” development offering planned care on an outpatient or day case basis.

Imperial College Healthcare was formed on 1 October 2007 by the merger of Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and St Mary's NHS Trust with Imperial College London Faculty of Medicine. In July 2008 Imperial College Healthcare announced that it would be launching a pilot scheme to reward medical teams with bonuses for successful operations. In January 2009 the results of a study were published in which researchers had successfully captured MRI images of bleeding inside the hearts of 15 Imperial College Healthcare patients who had suffered a heart attack. In November 2009 a team led by Professor Paul Abel of Imperial College Healthcare performed the first removal of a rectal cancer using ultrasound. In April 2011 it was reported that Imperial College Healthcare had an underlying financial deficit and faced a potential gap of £40 million between income and expenditure in 2011/12. In 2012/13 Imperial College Healthcare Trust achieved a year-end adjusted surplus of £9.0 million.
