Kosciusko (/kʌˈʃuskoʊ/ kuh-SHOOS-koh) is a mostly non-residential neighborhood located in St. Louis, Missouri. It begins at the Mississippi River front in the east and goes up to 7th Boulevard and 8th Street in the west. Interstate 55 is a northern border, and St. George and Dorcas Streets border the south of this neighborhood. Kosciusko is named in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko, an American Revolutionary War general of Polish descent.
Within its limits are several industrial companies, including the Nooter Corporation. The longest continuous graffiti wall, the 1.9 Mile Mississippi River Floodwall, is in this neighborhood. It is home to the annual Labor Day event, Paint Louis. In the northern edge of the neighborhood is an area commonly called "Chouteau's Landing."
