Christ Church, Birmingham, Parish church in Birmingham, England.
The building stood at the intersection of Ann Street and New Street, featuring a western square tower with an octagonal belfry and gothic spire.
Construction began in 1805 with support from King George III, and the foundation stone was laid by George Legge, Third Earl of Dartmouth.
The ground floor seating was open to all without payment, which led to its designation as the Free Church among local residents.
The church accommodated 1500 worshippers and operated independently after 1865 when it separated from St Martin's and St Philip's parishes.
The remains of John Baskerville, the renowned typographer, were interred within the church before its demolition in 1899.
