Pulteney is a town in Steuben County, New York, United States. The population was 1,405 at the 2000 census. The name is derived from the name of the original pioneer tract of land.

The first settlers arrived in this part of the Pulteney Tract in approximately 1797. For a time the area was known as "Harmonyville."

The "Pulteney Purchase" or "Pulteney Tract" was a section of land in the region of Steuben County purchased from Robert Morris by several English investors including Sir William Pulteney, 5th Baronet called "The Pulteney Association."
