The Croton Aqueduct or Old Croton Aqueduct was a large and complex water distribution system constructed for New York City between 1837 and 1842. The great aqueducts, which were among the first in the United States, carried water by gravity 41 miles (66 km) from the Croton River in Westchester County to reservoirs in Manhattan. It was built because local water resources had become polluted and inadequate for the growing population of the city. Although the aqueduct was largely superseded by the New Croton Aqueduct, which was built in 1890, the Old Croton Aqueduct remained in service until 1955.

Das Wasser wurde einem Stausee am entnommen und durch einen 66 Kilometer langen Kanal nach Manhattan geführt. Der Croton-Aquädukt gilt als erstes großes Bauwerk der Wasserversorgung New Yorks und wurde deshalb im Dezember 1974 ins National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen.
