Manhattan is an island borough of New York City, New York, USA, coterminous with New York County. With a 2006 population of 1,611,581 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.47  km²), it is the most densely populated county in the United States at 66,940 residents per square mile (25,846/km²). It is also the second wealthiest county in the United States. The borough consists of Manhattan Island, Roosevelt Island, Randalls Island, almost 1/10th of Ellis Island, the above-water portion of Liberty Island, several much smaller islands, and a small section on the mainland of New York State adjacent to the Bronx.

Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of the United States and, to some extent, the world. Most major radio, television, and telecommunications companies in the United States are based here, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers. Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. Manhattan has the largest central business district in the United States, is the site of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in the nation. It is indisputably the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, holding the seat of city government, and the largest fraction of employment, business, and recreational activities.

曼哈頓(Manhattan)是美國東部哈德遜河下游的一座島嶼,亦為紐約市市中心所在。曼哈頓區與紐約郡(New York County)邊界線相同,包括曼哈頓島、一些其他小島和陸地的一部分。2000年,紐約郡人口為153萬7195人;面積上來說此郡是紐約州最小的郡。但此區是紐約市乃至全美國、全世界最繁華的地方之一,極多影視文藝作品的背景選在這裡。

紐約市是由五個區(boroughs)組成,然而從另一個行政角度劃分的話,市下又分五個郡(和五個區的邊界分別相同),這點和美國其他地方「郡大於市」的情況不同:

紐約郡(New York County)--曼哈頓區
布朗克斯郡(Bronx County)--布朗克斯區(The Bronx)
國王郡(Kings County)--布魯克林區(Brooklyn)
皇后郡(Queens County)--皇后區(Queens)
瑞奇蒙郡(Richmond County)--史泰登島(Staten Island)

紐約郡和曼哈頓區的邊界相同,為紐約市的下屬,此郡下沒有進一步的政治區域劃分。面積包括整個曼哈頓島(Manhattan Island),被東河(East River)、哈林河(Harlem River)與哈德遜河(Hudson River)環繞。也包括一些小島,如羅斯福島(Roosevelt Island,以前叫做「Welfare島」,再之前叫做「Blackwell島」)、吳丹島(U Thant Island,官方名字為「Belmont島」)以及北美大陸的一小部分(Marble Hill),和布朗克斯區接壤。Marble Hill原來是曼哈頓島的一部分,不過在19世紀末期,為了改善哈林河航運修建了哈林運河,將這個地區與曼哈頓島分離開來。最後,原來在這部分和布朗克斯之間的渠道也被填平,使其和大陸相連。

曼哈頓島長21.5千米,最寬處為3.7千米。美國人口調查局數據表明,紐約郡(即曼哈頓區)總面積為87.5平方千米:59.5平方千米為土地,28.0平方千米為水域;水域佔全部面積的32.01%。

曼哈頓西鄰新澤西州,東北方是布朗克斯區,東面和南面的布魯克林區和皇后區均位於長島;它通過橋梁和隧道等與這些地方相連。曼哈頓和史泰登島之間唯一的直接連接是經由渡輪完成。
