Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center is a 654-bed hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and received Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Presbyterian Hospital was founded in 1903, when ten doctors from the North Carolina Medical College purchased the former Charlotte Private Hospital, and turned it over to the city's six Presbyterian churches to operate. The hospital operated out of leased properties during its early years. In 1915, the nearby Elizabeth College moved to Virginia, vacating its campus on Hawthorne Lane. The hospital acquired that property and in 1918 began operating at its current location.http://www.heraldonline.com/2013/02/27/4651024/novant-health-renames-presbyterian.html#storylink=cpy {{dead link|date=September 2021}} The first of several new buildings opened in 1940, and in 1980 the Elizabeth College buildings came down to make way for further expansion.{{cite news|title=Hospital's Expansion Part of National Trend|work=The Charlotte Observer|date=December 3, 2008|page=6D}} It opened several satellite hospitals in Huntersville and Matthews, before merging with Carolina Medicorp of Winston-Salem in 1997.
