St Mary Colechurch, Medieval parish church in City of London, England.
St Mary Colechurch stood at the intersection of Poultry and Old Jewry, operating a grammar school that continued after the church's destruction.
The church, first recorded in the late 12th century, fell victim to the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was not selected for reconstruction.
The church maintained strong connections with local merchants and supported the Fraternity of St Katharine, which provided community aid from 1338.
A commemorative blue plaque marks the former location of the church at the southwest corner of Old Jewry in central London.
The church's priest, Peter, supervised the construction of the first stone London Bridge during the late 12th century.
