The New York Transit Museum is a major cultural institution in Brooklyn dedicated to the history of urban public transportation, recognized as the largest museum in the United States devoted to this topic and a leading international center in the field. It examines the development of the greater New York metropolitan area through exhibitions, tours, educational programs, and workshops that address the cultural, social, and technological dimensions of transit. Founded in 1976 and housed in a historic 1936 IND subway station in Brooklyn Heights, the museum serves as custodian and interpreter of the region's transit networks, sharing this history with local, regional, and international audiences.

The organization is based in Brooklyn, New York, and operates as a mid-sized cultural institution. In December 2025 the museum opened a new Brooklyn location and announced an exhibit commemorating the retirement of the magnetic stripe transit card.
