Christ Church, North Shields, Grade II listed Anglican church in North Shields, England.

The sandstone church features a three-story battlemented west tower with circular windows and round-headed openings in the Georgian architectural style.

Robert Trollope designed the original structure in 1663, while John Dodds added the west tower between 1786 and 1788 and redesigned the church from 1792.

The interior displays elliptical arches supported by Tuscan columns, with a west gallery housing the organ and monuments commemorating vicar Stephen Dockwray.

Located at Preston Road with street parking within 250 meters, the church provides level access to main areas and welcomes both walkers and cyclists.

The church grounds contain the Grade II listed chest tomb of Edward Hodgson, a cordwainer from North Shields who helped establish the church in 1690.
