The Nairobi Hospital is a private hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.

It is located on Argwings Kodhek Road, in the neighborhood of Upper Hill, in Kenya's capital city of Nairobi. The hospital is located approximately 4.5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Kenyatta International Conference Centre. The coordinates of the hospital are 01°17'46.0"S, 36°48'17.0"E (Latitude:-1.296115; Longitude:36.804718).

The institution was officially opened on 9 April 1954, as an exclusively European Hospital, in Kenya, which was then a colony of the United Kingdom. On 19 October 1961, it began serving non-Europeans and the name was changed to The Nairobi Hospital.

In August 2016, Kenyan print media reported that the hospital planned expanding its physical infrastructure, its staffing levels and its bed capacity. The planned expansion, budgeted at KSh5.7 billion (approx. US$57.2 million), includes the following:
