Misercordia Health Centre is a hospital that was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba by the Misericordia Sisters in 1898. Today, ownership of the hospital is the responsibility of the Misericordia Corporation within the Archdiocese of Winnipeg. The funding for programs and services is administered through the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and charitable donations.

For many years, Misercordia was a general hospital serving the west and south ends of the city of Winnipeg. It had an emergency room and surgical units attached to it. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority re-designated the hospital as an urgent care center in the 1993 and made the hospital a center of excellence for eye care in the same year. There are over 20 surgical ophthalmologists on staff at the hospital.

The hospital has had about 250 interim and personal care home beds since 1998.
