St. Luke's International Hospital (聖路加国際病院, Sēroku Kokusai Byōin) is a general and teaching hospital located in the Tsukiji district of Chūō, Tokyo, Japan.

First opened in 1902, as a medical mission facility by the Episcopal Church in the United States,[1] the hospital is now one of central Tokyo's largest and most comprehensive medical care facilities. It operates as an adjunct to St. Luke's International University, an affiliated university of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai (Anglican Episcopal Church in Japan).
