St Luke's Church, Christchurch, Anglican church in Christchurch, New Zealand

St Luke's Church was a Gothic Revival structure designed by architect Cyril Mountfort that stood at the intersection of Manchester, Lichfield, and Peterborough Streets. The building was constructed between 1908 and 1909 to serve the Anglican community for over a century before the 2011 earthquake.

The church was built in 1908-1909 on land that the Canterbury Association had reserved for religious purposes back in 1850. It replaced the earlier Chapel of Ease and became the main place of worship for the Anglican community in the area.

New Zealand Post's Christmas 1995 stamp series reproduced scenes from St Luke's stained glass windows on its four highest denominations, from $0.80 to $1.80. The congregation that worshipped here still meets after the earthquake, holding services at the Mary Potter Community Centre and the central-city Knox Presbyterian church, with weekday morning prayer on the St Luke's site.

The original church site remains accessible and visible to visitors who want to see where it once stood. The adjacent vicarage, recognized as an important heritage building, survived the earthquake and can still be seen on the grounds.

The vicarage next door is a Category I heritage building, registered on 15 February 1990 under number 3132, while the church itself was only Category II. It remains standing and is being restored as a residential dwelling.
