St. Michael, Parish church in Fürth, Germany.

St. Michael is a parish church in Fürth featuring Romanesque design with carved stone details and defined arches throughout its structure. The building displays traditional religious architecture typical of the region with clear geometric forms and solid construction.

The nave dates from around 1100, making it the oldest surviving part; the tower was added in the 1380s–1390s and its octagonal top around 1530, while the choir followed around 1480. Fürth adopted the Reformation after Nürnberg's move of 5 June 1524, with the first visitation on 3 September 1528 taken as its start. Until 1824 St. Michael remained the town's only church.

The archangel Michael has been Fürth's patron saint since the 13th century, and the church is named for him. From 1923 to 1964 the composer Frieda Fronmüller served here as organist and choir director, becoming Kirchenmusikdirektorin in 1955. On 3 June 2018 a ZDF television service was broadcast from the church.

The church stands in Fürth's rebuilt old town, its 45-metre tower visible from afar; the usual entrance is on the south side of the nave, beside the west portal that is rarely used. The tower once served as a refuge in wartime for a town without fortifications, and a paid watchman kept duty there during the Thirty Years' War.

The only Gothic element left inside is a sandstone sacrament house carved around 1500 by Adam Kraft, the sculptor of Nuremberg's Sebaldus tomb. The stained-glass windows were made by Hanns Gottfried von Stockhausen and installed between 1958 and 1969, showing Michael the Archangel, the Crossing of the Red Sea and the Baptism of Jesus.
