St. Matthäus, Lutheran church in Uttenreuth, Germany.

St. Matthäus is a Lutheran hall church built in 1765/66 from ashlar masonry. Its nave is covered by a hipped roof, with a recessed, transversely rectangular choir to the east and a three-story west tower. The tower is divided by pilasters and cornices and topped by a slate-clad Welsche Haube; its top floor holds the tower clock and bell frame.

St. Matthäus was built in 1765/66 as a hall church of cut-stone masonry (Quadermauerwerk), replacing a 14th-century chapel on the site. The building is listed as a Bavarian monument under the number D-5-72-158-1. Its parish belongs to the Dekanat Erlangen within the Kirchenkreis Nürnberg of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Bavaria.

The church is named after the Apostle Matthew, patron of the parish within the Erlangen deanery of the Nuremberg church district. Inside, the pulpit altar combines pulpit and altar in one structure, a form common in Lutheran Franconia. The organ on the gallery, built in 1960 by E. F. Walcker & Cie., has 14 stops on two manuals and pedal.

The church stands at the western end of Uttenreuth's old centre, its three-storey tower with the slate-covered Welsche Haube visible from the surrounding streets. The entrance is on the west side beneath the tower; the raised nave and recessed choir lie to the east. The churchyard is level and reachable on foot from the village centre.

The organ was built in 1960 by E. F. Walcker & Cie and features 14 stops across two manuals and pedal. This instrument reflects the craftsmanship and musical traditions that continue in the church.
