Neue Galerie is an art museum on the Museum Mile in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was founded by two close friends, art dealer Serge Sabarsky and philanthropist Ronald Lauder. Neue Galerie was set up to showcase Expressionist art by German and Austrian artists from the early 20th century.

Neue Galerie is housed in a Louis XIII-style Beaux-Arts building which was completed in 1914. The building was commissioned by industrialist William Starr Miller. It was designed by Carrère & Hastings, the same designers of the New York Public Library. It was subsequently occupied by Grace Vanderbilt, wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt III. The building is a designated landmark and regarded as the most distinguished structure along Fifth Avenue.

 Neue Galerie New York opened there on 16 November, 2001. By then Sabarsky had died five years earlier, and Lauder opened the museum as a tribute to him. In 2006 he purchased a painting by Gustav Klimt entitled Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer from Maria Altmann for the Neue Galerie. It is reported that the painting was bought at US$135 million, making it the most expensive painting ever sold. It has been on display at the museum since July 2006.
