St Lawrence's Church, Catholic church in southern Macau, China.

St Lawrence's Church stands on a raised platform on Rua de São Lourenço in southern Macau, facing the Salesian school. Its pale yellow neoclassical facade has two square towers: the left holds a clock with black numerals, the right an arched bell opening. Between them a triangular pediment carries a cross and a round emblem with red letters. Inside, pale yellow walls rise to a vaulted ceiling with light blue panels, dark wooden pews fill the nave, and three glass chandeliers hang in a line.

A wooden chapel was built here by Jesuits around 1558–1560. Inscriptions in the church record repairs in 1618 and 1768, a rebuilding from November 1801 to November 1803, and another in 1844–1846 that gave the building its present scale. Further major repairs followed, the last in 1954, and a full restoration funded by the Macau Cultural Affairs Bureau ran from October 2006 to July 2007.

The church served as a gathering place where families expressed their hopes and prayers across generations. Its Chinese name Feng Shun Tang reflects a belief in the place as a source of protection and blessing.

The church is on Rua de São Lourenço, opposite the Salesian school; bus routes 9, 16, 18 and 28B stop at M180. Weekday Mass is at 7:30 am, and the church is open for Eucharistic adoration from 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Saturday. The stone cross in the side garden bears the date 1627.

In the garden beside the church stands a stone cross whose base is carved "INRI 1627 e 1811", recording the dates 1627 and 1811. The church keeps a relic linked to its patron: the gridiron on which Lawrence was executed, shown in the central altar statue. Six stained-glass windows depict scenes from his life.
