The Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul of New York, most often known as the Sisters of Charity of New York, is a religious congregation of sisters in the Catholic Church whose primary missions are education and nursing and who are dedicated in particular to the service of the poor. The motherhouse is located at Mt. St. Vincent in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. They were founded by Elizabeth Ann Seton in 1809.

In April 2023, the congregation announced that they would cease accepting new members and acknowledge a "path to completion", with the current sisters eventually dying of old age until the order is "completed".[1]
