St James Duke's Place, Anglican church building in Aldgate, City of London, England.

The brick building measured 65 feet in length and 42 feet in width, with wooden columns dividing the central nave.

The church operated from 1622 to 1874, initially constructed using materials from the dissolved Holy Trinity Priory at Aldgate.

The church gained recognition for performing numerous marriages without reading banns, conducting over 40,000 ceremonies between 1644 and 1691.

The former church location now houses Sir John Cass's Primary School, following the merger of the parish with St Katherine Cree.

The church maintained independence from the Bishop of London's authority, as its patronage belonged to the lord mayor of London.
