St. Paul's Hospital is an acute care hospital located in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the oldest of the seven health care facilities operated by Providence Health Care, a Roman Catholic faith-based care provider.

St. Paul's is open to patients regardless of their faith and is home to many medical and surgical programs, including cardiac services and kidney care including an advanced structural heart disease program and North America's largest addiction fellowship program. It is also the home of the Pacific Adult Congenital Heart Clinic. It is one of the teaching hospitals of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine. Approximately 4,000 people work at St. Paul's Hospital.

On August 12, 2020, it was announced that the hospital's land in downtown Vancouver was sold to Concord Pacific for nearly $1 billion.[1][2] Providence Health Care stated that the proceeds from the sale would go to the construction of the new St. Paul's Hospital in the False Creek Flats neighborhood, which is expected to open in 2027.[3]
