St. Luke's International Hospital (聖路加国際病院, Seiruka Kokusai Byōin) is a general and teaching hospital located in the Akashicho district (adjacent to Tsukiji) in Chūō, Tokyo, Japan.

First opened in 1902, as a medical mission facility by the Episcopal Church in the United States, the hospital is now one of central Tokyo's largest and most comprehensive medical care facilities, having played a significant role in advancing medical care, education, and public health in modern Japan. It operates as an adjunct to St. Luke's International University, an affiliated university of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai (Anglican Episcopal Church in Japan).
