Van Cortlandt Manor is a house and property located by the confluence of the Croton and Hudson Rivers located in the village of Croton-On-Hudson in Westchester County, New York. The stone and brick manor house is now a National Historic Landmark. It is on Riverside Avenue.

Originally, it was an convert|86000|acre|km2|sing=on tract granted as a Patent to Stephanus Van Cortlandt in 1697 by King William III. The manor house was built sometime before 1732 but was not any owner's principal residence until a grandson, Pierre Van Cortlandt, moved there in 1749. At that time the manor house was on a thousand-acre portion of the original tract. The house remained in Van Cortlandt family ownership until 1945. In 1953, John D. Rockefeller purchased it and began a restoration. The restored manor house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1961.,cite web|url=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/66000579.pdf "Van Cortlandt Manor", January, 1975, by James Dillon] |299 KB|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination|date=1975-01|publisher=National Park Service] ,cite web|url=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/66000579.pdf Van Cortlandt Manor--Accompanying photos, exterior, from 1967 and 1974.] |5.40 MB|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination|date=1975-01|publisher=National Park Service]
