Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, also known as Erie Canal National Historic Landmark, is a historic district that includes the ruins of the Erie Canal aqueduct over Schoharie Creek, and a 3.5 mile long part of the Erie Canal, in the towns of Glen and Florida within Montgomery County, New York. It is the only part of the old canal that has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

The aqueduct was built in 1841-1845 as part of the first enlargement of the canal, and was carrying traffic by 1845. It crosses Schoharie Creek about .4 miles southeast of its joining the Mohawk River, in Fort Hunter, New York.
