The Swiss Institute / Contemporary Art New York (SI) is an independent non-profit contemporary art organization temporarily located at 102 Franklin Street in Tribeca, Manhattan. The organization's goal is to explore how a national perspective can foster international conversations. Exhibitions include visual and performing arts, design and architecture, and admission is free.

The Institute occupied the third floor loft of the New Era Building from 1994 until 2011. The one-room space was used as a gallery featuring primarily Swiss and other European contemporary artists, with a goal of promoting "cultural dialogue" among Switzerland, Europe, and the United States, and interaction among the Swiss community and other communities in New York. The space, constructed to museum-quality standards by the firm Pagnamenta & Torriani, was also frequently used for concerts, talks and other events.
