西元十七至十九世紀間設立於歐洲及美國的機構，負責拘留乞丐、遊民、身障或年邁的窮人並引導其從事勞動；特別是指英國依據《濟貧法》所設立者。這類機構最後淪落為收容乞丐、罪犯、老弱和精神障礙者之處所。專門懲教矯正受刑罪犯的相似機構，稱為「矯正院(機構)」；而照顧窮人的慈善機構，則稱為「救濟院(機構)」。

Institutions overseeing the confinement and labor of paupers, vagrants, and the disabled or elderly poor from the 17th through 19th century in Europe and America, especially those established under the various Poor Laws of England. These institutions eventually degenerated into dumping places for paupers, criminals, infirm, elderly, and the mentally ill. For similar institutions intended to provide punishment and reformation of the criminal, use "houses of correction (institutions)." For institutions providing charitable care for the poor, use "almshouses (institutions)."
