Bathgate Industrial Park is an industrial park situated in the Morrisania area of the Bronx, New York City. It lies to the south of the Cross Bronx Expressway, bordered on the west by Third and Fulton Avenues, to the north by Claremont Parkway, and on the east by Washington Avenue, all within the jurisdiction of Bronx Community Board 3.

Established through a collaboration between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), Bathgate Industrial Park commenced operations in 1982 as a nonprofit entity. The development aimed to rejuvenate the South Bronx by rezoning an area formerly designated for residential use that contained vacant lots and buildings.

Spanning approximately seven city blocks and covering roughly , the facility comprises eight structures with a combined space of around 454,000 square feet. It accommodates light industrial activities, distribution centers, office spaces, and educational institutions. Notable occupants include a manufacturer of generic pharmaceuticals, food distribution companies, as well as schools such as Mott Hall Bronx High School and the Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science, both components of the Bathgate Educational Campus.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, Bathgate Industrial Park was transformed into a "mega-facility" vaccination center operating around the clock starting January 2021. Prior to this role, it functioned as a COVID testing site.
