The Coptic Orthodox Diocese of New York and New England, also referred to as the Coptic Diocese of New York, is a diocese of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It was founded in 2013 and encompasses the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont in the United States of America. Bishop David was appointed diocesan bishop when the diocese was created.

Coptic Immigration to the United States began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of these early immigrants came on temporary scholarships and education visas, as the National Origins Formula used by the United States at the time barred Egyptians, among other non-Northern Europeans, from becoming US Citizens. After the full implementation of the 1965 Immigration Act, the restrictions set forth by the National Origins Formula were repealed and Copts were able to gain entry into the United States with permanent resident status. Many Copts thus immigrated to the USA in search of religious freedom, political stability, and economic opportunity. By the 1970s, many of those newly immigrated Copts had settled in New York and New England, and their numbers continued to grow as the years went on. For many years, the few Coptic churches there were administered by the Archdiocese of North America (which is under the auspices of the Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church). Bishop David, the current bishop of the diocese, had formerly served only as a general bishop in New England under the aforementioned archdiocese for several years, formally under Pope Shenouda III.

By the 2010s, the Coptic population had grown sufficiently large to support an independent diocese. Pope Tawadros II created the Diocese of New York and New England out of the geographic areas written in the name of the diocese; its territory was taken from the Archdiocese of North America. Pope Tawadros called upon Bishop David, to be diocesan bishop for the diocese in a two-day ceremony from November 16–17, 2013, in Cairo, Egypt. An official enthronement ceremony for Bishop David took place on 7 December 2013 at St. Abraam Coptic Orthodox Church in Woodbury, New York. As a diocesan bishop, Bishop David has the authority to ordain priests for the diocese's churches, in accordance with the needs and capabilities of the respective church congregations.

The current Seat of the bishopric is located at the Saint Mina and Pope Kyrillos VI Cathedral in Chestnut Ridge, New York.

The diocese had previously announced plans to formally establish a monastery in the Boston region, under the name of Virgin Mary & Pope Kyrillos VI in Charlton, Massachusetts. This would be the first monastery to be established in the diocese, and the third in North America. It would also be the first monastery in the history of the Coptic Orthodox Church to be named after Saint Pope Kyrillos VI. As of September 2022, plans for this monastery are currently set for it to be established in Dover Plains, New York, under the same name.

They further stated that they will put in all efforts to curb such conduct.
