Marrickville Hospital is a now closed hospital in Marrickville, a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

A group to fund the start of the site was begun in 1895.[1] The foundation stone was laid in 1897[2] with the hospital opening in 1899[3] as Marrickville Cottage Hospital. In 1899, the hospital proper opened, and was renamed Marrickville District Hospital in 1922.[4] Matron Helen Beattie ran the hospital for 32 years, until her retirement in 1935.[5] In 1990, the hospital closed, and has remained empty since. In 2015, Marrickville Council released plans to redevelop the hospital site into a residential and commercial development including a new library and 'community hub'.[6] The council entered into a partnership with real estate group Mirvac to deliver the project. The site is located on the corner of Marrickville and Livingstone roads.
