New Dorp Lane is a northwest - southeast street in New York City in the neighborhood of New Dorp in Staten Island, New York. While it is not an especially long or wide avenue (running one lane in each direction, only 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long), the segment west of Hylan Boulevard is one of the densest, busiest commercial districts on the island, comparable to parts of Brooklyn.

Southeast of Hylan Blvd

It begins at Richmond Road, runs for 0.2 miles (0.32 km) until it reaches New Dorp Plaza, a pair of north-south side streets which are also commercial in character. The pair of streets flank the Staten Island Railway's New Dorp Station on either side. It continues along, passing numerous shops, restaurants, banks and offices, and a library. At 0.6 miles (0.97 km), it reaches Hylan Boulevard, the East Shore's main north-south thoroughfare, here running northeast-southwest, at one of the most notoriously dangerous intersections on the island, one known for congestion and collisions. Continuing southwest, the avenue widens and is much less busy. It passes New Dorp High School, and then runs along the southwestern border of Miller Field, terminating at 1.5 miles (2.4 km), on the beach along Raritan Bay.

Our Lady Queen of Peace, the area's major Catholic parish, is located on New Dorp Lane near its western end.

New Dorp Lane is served by the S76/S86 local buses.
