The Hôpital Cochin (French pronunciation: [opital kɔʃɛ̃]) is a hospital of public assistance in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques Paris 14e.
The Hôpital Cochin is a section of the Faculté de Médecine Paris-Cité.
It commemorates Jean-Denis Cochin, curé of the parish of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas and founder of a hospital for the workers and poor of that quarter of Paris.
