St Vincent Street Church, Glasgow, Presbyterian parish church in Glasgow, Scotland.

The stone building features symmetrical shapes, columns, and a tower that exemplifies the Greek Revival architectural style of the 1850s period.

Alexander Thomson and his brother George designed the church in 1859 for the Gordon Street United Presbyterian congregation using funds from their previous building sale.

The interior decoration was executed by Daniel Cottier, while John Mossman completed the stone carving work throughout the building's exterior structure.

The Glasgow City Council maintains ownership of the building, which remained unused since October 2021 due to safety concerns about falling plaster.

The church tower underwent restoration with support from the World Monuments Fund and American Express following its inclusion in the World Monuments Watch.
