New Aleppo (Arabic: حيّ حلب الجديدة, romanized: Ḥayy Ḥalab al-Jadīda) is one of the largest neighborhoods in Aleppo in Syria. Its residential area has Aleppo's classical buildings, which were built with white stones. New Aleppo is an extension of the city to the west. It is surrounded by Al-Zahraa neighbourhood (North), Al-Furqan neighbourhood (East), Al-Hamdaniyah neighbourhood (South), and Al-Rashideen town (West)

It was called New Aleppo because it is the latest -at the time- neighborhood that was built in the city, and its buildings have a lot of differences from those in other neighborhoods. Aleppo's name is maybe from Syriac means: "white city" because it has white stones and its buildings were constructed with stones.

Construction of the neighborhood began in the 1980s, but it was not a real suburb because the first buildings were outside the city. In 2000 the state began building an orderly neighborhood. It is now one of the largest neighborhoods in the city, and until nowadays it is expanding such as Menyan "Benyameen" quarter (Menyan was previously a small town that got absorbed by the city).

On 29 November 2024, HTS rebels captured the neighborhood from the Syrian Army. And would topple the statue of Bassel al-Assad, the deceased brother of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

The neighborhood is on a plateau in the west of the city at an elevation between 400 and 460 meters.
