St Laurence's Church, Chorley, Anglican parish church in Chorley, England.

St Laurence's Church features a stone structure with a four-bay nave, a bell tower with diagonal buttresses, and a battlemented parapet adorned with gargoyles.

The church tower dates from the 15th century, and significant rebuilding occurred between 1859 and 1861, including the removal of galleries and addition of aisles.

The interior displays octagonal pier arcades, family pews from the 17th century, and stained glass windows created by Hardman and Harry Stammers.

The church holds All Age Eucharists on Saturdays at 5 PM, Sunday services at 9 AM with traditional music, and weekday services on Mondays and Tuesdays.

A medieval reliquary mentioned in a 1442 letter contained bones of Saint Laurence, connecting the church to early Christian traditions.
