Harmony Mills, in Cohoes, New York, United States, is an industrial district that is bordered by the Mohawk River and the old Erie Canal. It is now a historic district and a National Historic Landmark. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1999.[1][3]

It was the largest cotton mill complex in the world when it opened in 1872, and is one of the finest examples of a large-scale textile mill complex outside of New England.

In 2007, some of the mill buildings are being renovated and turned into residential lofts.
