The Church of the Intercession is an Episcopal congregation located at 550 West 155th Street, at Broadway, on the border of the Harlem and Washington Heights neighborhoods of Manhattan, New York City, on the grounds of Trinity Church Cemetery. The congregation was founded in 1846, and the current sanctuary, built in 1912–1915, was designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue in the Gothic Revival style. From 1906–1976, it was a chapel of Trinity Church.[2]

The Church of the Intercession and its Tudor Revival vicarage were designated New York City Landmarks in 1966,[3][4] and the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[5]
