St Osburg's Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in central Coventry, England.

St Osburg's Church stands at the intersection of Holyhead Road and Coventry Ring Road, featuring traditional stained glass windows and Gothic Revival architecture.

The church, completed in 1845 by architect Charles Hansom, suffered extensive damage during the 1940 bombing of Coventry and underwent restoration until the 1950s.

The Benedictine monks from Downside Abbey managed the church from its inception until 1992, when the Archdiocese of Birmingham assumed responsibility.

The Grade II listed building currently holds two Sunday services, with masses scheduled for Saturday at 5:30 PM and Sunday at 11:30 AM.

The church hosted the 1846 ceremony where William Ullathorne became Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, with John Henry Newman in attendance.
