Little Fuzhou (Chinese: 小福州; pinyin: Xiǎo Fúzhōu; Foochow Romanized: Siēu-hók-ciŭ), or Fuzhou Town (Chinese: 福州埠; pinyin: Fúzhōu Bù; Foochow Romanized: Hók-ciŭ-pú), is a neighborhood in the Two Bridges and Lower East Side areas of the borough of Manhattan in New York City in the United States. In recent decades the neighborhood has become a prime destination for immigrants from Fuzhou, Fujian, China. The term is now also being used to describe a similar neighborhood developing rapidly in the adjacent borough of Brooklyn. Manhattan's Little Fuzhou is centered on the street of East Broadway, bordering its main Chinatown / Manhattan's Little Hong Kong/Guangdong.

East Broadway was once a main street of a large Jewish community based in the Lower East Side. Over the years, Puerto Ricans and African-Americans began to settle on the street too. During the 1960s, an influx of immigrants from Hong Kong and Vietnam began finding their homes on East Broadway and the areas surrounding it. Slowly, the Puerto Ricans, the Jews, and the African-Americans began moving out of the area.
