St Michael-le-Querne, Medieval parish church in City of London, England.

St Michael-le-Querne stood at the northeast corner of St Paul's churchyard, near Paternoster Row and the intersection with the present St Paul's tube station.

The church, first recorded in 1181, underwent reconstruction in 1430 with land contributions from the City before its destruction in the Great Fire of 1666.

The church name derives from its location near a corn market, where a quern-stone for grinding wheat represented the area's commercial activities.

The parish records and historical documents relating to St Michael-le-Querne are now preserved in local archives and at St Vedast Foster Lane Church.

A parish boundary marker on St Paul's Cathedral School wall remains the only physical evidence of St Michael-le-Querne's former presence.
