Christchurch Club, Victorian private club in Worcester Street, Christchurch, New Zealand

Christchurch Club is a Victorian private club building on Worcester Street featuring detailed stonework, large windows, and multiple gathering spaces across several floors. The building contains conference rooms, dining areas, and social spaces available for members' use.

The Christchurch Club was founded in 1856 by wealthy rural runholders, with George Ross among the founding members; early meetings took place in rented premises on Durham Street. Benjamin Mountfort designed its Worcester Street building next to Latimer Square, erected in 1861–62. Its landholder membership made it, in the words of one account, "an informal seat of power in nineteenth century Canterbury".

The club was founded in 1856 by wealthy rural runholders and was long known simply as The Club. Its rival, the Canterbury Club, broke away in 1872, founded by urban professionals; proposals to merge the two have been discussed for decades, most recently in 2013.

The spaces are accessible to members and require a formal application process with sponsorship from existing members. Visitors should inquire in advance whether special occasions or tours are available for non-members.

The club began as "The Club" in 1856, with rooms rented in Durham Street for runholders visiting Christchurch before the Worcester Street building was erected in 1861–62. Its membership made it what has been called "an informal seat of power in nineteenth century Canterbury".
