Sloan is a village in Erie County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Sloan had a population of 3,775.^[2] It is part of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area and is in the town of Cheektowaga.

The village was incorporated in 1896 from part of Cheektowaga. With the CSX Frontier yard to the village's north and the Norfolk Southern Bison yard to the village's south, it was a historically important railroad town like nearby Depew. These yards were originally the New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna, respectively.^{[citation needed]}

For much of its history the village had a police force ranging from three to six officers. The force was abolished circa 1978, and the four patrolmen and one captain were absorbed by the Cheektowaga Police Department, which to this day provides police services to the village.^{[citation needed]}
