Weehawken Cove (also known as North Hoboken Harbor, Hoboken Cove and Hoboken's Inner Harbor), is a small body of water in New Jersey that extends westward from the Hudson River. The harbor/cove is north of Hoboken and south of Weehawken. The cove was first discovered by Henny Hudson, who anchored his ship in the cove on October 2, 1609. Most the Harbor is within Hoboken boundaries, but there is a small section that is in Weehawken. A pair of apartment complexes have been built along the harbor/cove in the last decade. On the Hoboken side of the harbor/cove is the Hoboken Tea Building Walkway, which goes alongside the water and offers the best public Hoboken views of the harbor/cove. There are also piers, but most aren't opened to the public yet. Manhattan is easily visible from the harbor/cove.

In 2005, David Roberts, the mayor of Hoboken, unveiled a plan to build a Hoboken Cove park.
