The Church of St. Ambrose is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 539 West 54th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The parish was established in 1897.[2] The church was designed by John Vredenburgh Van Pelt in the Gothic Revival style.[1][3]

In 1938, the congregation disbanded. The building became the Sisters of Mary Immaculate's Centro Maria, a woman's residence.[3]
