St Mary's Church, Hampden Park, Eastbourne, Grade II listed Anglican church in Hampden Park, Eastbourne, England.

The church features white-painted brickwork, pointed concrete transverse arches, and a design that incorporates north and south aisles with an apsidal chancel.

The original 1908 church was destroyed during World War II by a Junkers Ju 88 bombing raid in 1940, leaving only the bell tower standing.

The east window contains stained glass created in 1953 by designer Moira Forsyth, who collaborated with architect Edward Maufe on multiple projects.

The church maintains daily opening hours from 7:45 am until 5:45 pm, allowing visitors to enter for reflection, prayer, or candle lighting.

The interior design reflects Scandinavian architectural influences, demonstrating Edward Maufe's interpretation of Perpendicular Gothic Revival style.
