Solvay is a village located in the town of Geddes, Onondaga County, New York, United States, and a suburb of the city of Syracuse.

The area was within the former Central New York Military Tract, but Solvay was in a location reserved for members of the Onondaga tribe.

The Solvay Process plant, by then owned by Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, closed in 1985.

Reflecting paternalistic programs of the Solvay Process Company and the Hazard family, the first village and school library was in Guild Hall.

Solvay has its own municipal electric company which provides service to the village at one of the least expensive rates in the nation.

A typical three bedroom home in the village which is completely electric (meaning no natural gas service) sees an average bill of around $225 per month in the winter and $160 in the summer (2009).

The Solvay Public Library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
