The Archdiocese of New York (Latin: Archidiœcesis Neo-Eboracensis) is an archdiocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church located in the State of New York. It encompasses the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island in New York City and the counties of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester to the north of the city. It does not include the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn or Queens, which form the Diocese of Brooklyn nor north of the Hudson Valley; however, the Diocese of Brooklyn is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of which the Archdiocese of New York is the metropolitan see.
The Archdiocese of New York is the second-largest diocese in the United States by population, encompassing 296 parishes that serve around 2.8 million Catholics, in addition to hundreds of Catholic schools, hospitals and charities. The archdiocese also operates St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, New York. The archbishop is also the metropolitan of the larger Ecclesiastical Province of New York.
The Good Newsroom is the digital news outlet of the archdiocese and includes a website, social media channels, an app, and a weekly e-newsletter.
R. Luke Concanen was appointed the first bishop of what was then the Diocese of New York in 1808. On December 18, 2025, Pope Leo XIV named Bishop Ronald Hicks of Joliet, Illinois, to succeed the retiring archbishop, Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Since 1911 every archbishop of the archdiocese has been elevated to the College of Cardinals, although such elevation is often deferred for a number of years.
