Nieuw-Amsterdam eller Nya Amsterdam (engelska: New Amsterdam) var det nederländska nybygge som anlades som del av den Nederländska koloniseringen av Amerika i början av 1600-talet. Nieuw-Amsterdam grundlades på den södra delen av Manhattan och var Nya Nederländernas huvudstad. Efter att brittiska styrkor tagit kontrollen över Manhattan och resten av de nederländska kolonierna 1667 döptes staden om till New York till hertigen av Yorks (senare Jakob II av England) ära.

Map of New Amsterdam in New Netherland (Manhattan), 1660. Title: "Afbeeldinge van de Stadt Amsterdam in Nieuw Neederlandt." Made by Johannes Vingboons (1616-1670), a cartographer of the VOC. Based on surveys by Jacques Cortelyou (1625–1693). The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de’ Medici (1642-1723), travelled to Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1667. He was fascinated by Vingboons' work and bought watercolor paintings with mediation by Pieter Blaeu (1637-1706). The paintings were exhibited in his Florentine Villa di Castello.[1]
