St Matthew's Church, Northampton, Grade II* listed church building in Northampton, England.

The Victorian Anglican church features a four-manual organ built by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd in 1895 and houses numerous artistic works throughout its interior.

The foundation stone was placed on St Matthew's Day in 1891, and architect Matthew Holding completed the construction in memory of Pickering Phipps, a local parliamentarian.

Under Walter Hussey's leadership from 1937 to 1955, the church commissioned works from Benjamin Britten and acquired Henry Moore's sculpture Madonna and Child.

The church holds daily Mass services, maintains a choir of young singers aged 8 to 18, and provides its Parish Centre for community gatherings and events.

Graham Sutherland's 1946 painting of the Crucifixion and Ian Rank-Broadley's 2009 bronze statue of St Matthew enhance the church's artistic collection.
