List of disasters in New York City by death toll

This is a list of disasters that have occurred in New York City organized by death toll.

The list is general and comprehensive, comprising natural disasters (including epidemics) and man-made disasters both purposeful and accidental.

It does not normally include numerous non-notable deadly events such as disease deaths in an ordinary year, nor most deaths due to residential fires, traffic collisions and criminal homicide.

Particularly for epidemics, years reflect when the event impacted New York City rather than the world at large.
