New York's 10th congressional district is acongressional district for theUnited States House of Representatives currently represented byDemocratDan Goldman. The district contains all ofLower Manhattan, includingWall Street, and the westernBrooklyn neighborhoods ofBrooklyn Heights,DUMBO,Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens,Red Hook,Gowanus,Prospect Heights,Park Slope,Windsor Terrace, andSunset Park. The district also contains portions ofBorough Park andBay Ridge in Brooklyn, and all ofProspect Park. InUpper New York Harbor, the district includesGovernors Island,Liberty Island and theStatue of Liberty, and parts ofEllis Island.

This congressional district has changed configurations and locations many times throughout its history due toredistricting, initially starting out as anupstate constituency before gradually moving south. Beginning in the 1870s, it shifted into parts ofNew York City, where it has remained to this day.

In the 20th century, the 10th district was always aBrooklyn-based seat from 1913 until 1973, when that iteration of the district was redrawn and renumbered as the new16th, and the 10th was reassigned to a district in northernQueens and the eastBronx. The 1980 redistricting cycle restored the 10th district to Brooklyn, covering largely the same terrain as before. In the 1990 remap, much of the old 10th district was added to the new Queens–Brooklyn9th district, while the new 10th then absorbed much of the old11th district, including its congressman,Ed Towns.

From 2003 to 2013, this district was exclusively Brooklyn-based. During this time, it wasmajority-African American and included the neighborhoods ofBedford-Stuyvesant,Brooklyn Heights,Brownsville,Canarsie,East New York, andOcean Hill, as well as parts ofFort Greene,Prospect Heights, andWilliamsburg.^[4] Following the 2010–12 redistricting cycle, the district was reconfigured to cover most ofManhattan's West Side, covering most of what had been the8th district.

The 2010 map had a size of 14.25 sq mi (36.9 km²), New York's 10th district was thesecond-smallest by total area in the country, afterNew York's 13th.^[5] Demographically, it also had the largest number (197,000 or 270,000) and the highest percentage ofJews (27.5% or 37.6%)^[a] of any congressional district,^[6] largely as a result of the fact that it included several heavily Jewish neighborhoods of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Prior to the 2020 census, the district stretched from theUpper West Side of Manhattan to Borough Park.

The 10th district is located entirely in the New York City boroughs ofBrooklyn andManhattan.
