Grosse Kirche Fluntern, Protestant church in Zürichberg district, Switzerland.

Grosse Kirche Fluntern, also known as Neue Kirche Fluntern, is a neo-classical church on a terrace of the Zürichberg at Gellertstrasse. Its monumental front tower with an Ionic-column portico faces northeast, and the interior has a three-aisle layout with Corinthian columns, a coffered ceiling with rosettes, and murals by Paul Bodmer in the entrance hall.

The old Fluntern church became too small around 1906, prompting years of planning for a larger replacement. In 1907 the parish signed a contract with the city of Zurich to exchange the small old plot for a larger building site. A 1913 competition drew 92 entries; Curjel & Moser's design was chosen and refined in 1915. Construction of church and parsonage began in summer 1918, and the new church was inaugurated on 21 March 1920.

The six bells cast by H. Rüetschi of Aarau in 1920 ring the melody "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" with a doubled fundamental. The pulpit front shows August Suter's reliefs of a sower and women harvesting grapes and grain, and Paul Bodmer painted the west gallery in 1934.

The church stands on a terrace of the Zürichberg; a stairway leads from Gloriastrasse up to the main entrance. Because of the slope the building is oriented northeast rather than east, and the entrance porch rests on Ionic columns. The interior holds around 1,200 seats in three aisles, with galleries around the pulpit wall.

The first organ, built in 1920 by Carl Theodor Kuhn of Männedorf, had 52 sounding stops on three manuals and pedal; a planned fourth manual was never realised. Rebuilt in 1942 and 1968, it now has 62 stops, 56 of them sounding. The six bells cast by H. Rüetschi of Aarau in 1920 ring the melody "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme".
