Oekolampad-Kirche, Protestant church in Gotthelf district, Basel, Switzerland.

Oekolampad Church is a church building in Basel with distinctive red brick construction and a high rectangular tower. The structure features large arched windows along its facade and stands at Allschwilerplatz 22.

The church and adjacent parsonage were designed by Emil Bercher and Eugen Tamm and built in brick, largely financed by donations from congregation members; it was inaugurated in 1931. Walter Lüthi became its first pastor that year, and his sermons drew so many listeners that the tram stopping outside was nicknamed the "Lüthi-Express". The building has been listed as a monument since 1996, and in March 2022 the Basel-Stadt government removed it from the canton's church list.

The church is named after Johannes Oekolampad, a key figure in Basel's Protestant Reformation during the 16th century. His influence on the region's religious transformation is evident in the building's chosen name.

The building now functions as a meeting space after its final religious service in December 2011. Visitors should be aware it is a repurposed space with limited access during specific times.

The reliefs of Johannes Oekolampad and Wibrandis Rosenblatt, once mounted at the entrance, have been publicly accessible as a floor slab beneath the portico since the new Gemeindehaus Oekolampad opened in 2024. The building was bought in 2020 by the Wibrandis Stiftung, named after Rosenblatt.
