NYU Langone Medical Center is one of the premier academic medical centers in the United States, located in New York City, New York, United States, affiliated with New York University. The Medical Center comprises the NYU School of Medicine and several hospitals: Tisch Hospital, the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, the Hospital for Joint Diseases, NYU Lutheran Medical Center, and most recently, NYU Winthrop Hospital. NYU Langone Medical Center also operates over thirty ambulatory facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island. In early 2016, NYU Langone had approximately 25,000 employees, and over 8,000 more employees were gained after the acquisition of Long Island's Winthrop-University Hospital. The main campus of NYU Langone Medical Center overlooks the East River.

The institution is known for evidence-based clinical care across a wide range of specialties including its five key clinical areas: cardiac and vascular, cancer, musculoskeletal, neurology and neurosurgery, and children’s services.

NYU Langone also treats the full range of medical conditions in programs including the Fertility Center, Weight Management Program (including bariatric surgery), Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, Robotic Surgery Center, Cochlear Implant Center, Sleep Disorders Center, Dysautonomia Center, and programs ranging from maternal-fetal medicine to Alzheimer's disease.

The hospital was originally named NYU Medical Center, which was changed in 2008 after a $200 million gift from Kenneth and Elaine Langone. Kenneth Langone is the chairman of the board of trustees. In November 2008, $150 million donation was given for the construction of a new patient pavilion in honor of the late real estate developer and philanthropist Martin Kimmel. It was placed on the Honor Roll of U.S. News & World Report "Best Hospitals" in the nation for 2012-2015, and was named the #12 Hospital in the nation on the 2015-2016 "Best Hospitals" Honor Roll. In the 2016-2017 rankings, NYU Langone claimed the number 10 spot, overtaking Barnes-Jewish Hospital of Washington University in St. Louis.
