Längbro Church, Church of Sweden building in Örebro, Sweden

Längbro Church is a brick church built in 1900–1901 in western Örebro, designed by city architect Magnus Dahlander and seating 300. Its walls use brick from Marks tegelbruk and the roof slate from Grythyttan. The chancel ceiling has three paintings by Sven-Bertil Svensson showing the Virgin Mary, Jesus and John the Baptist, and four leaded windows from 1901 depict Christ's birth, crucifixion and ascension.

In 1876 Längbro parish was to form its own pastorate with Eker and Ånsta, and on 17 October 1896 it was decided to build the church near Karlslund Manor, first called Karlslunds kyrka. Bishop Uddo Lechard Ullman inaugurated it on 6 October 1901. Renovations took place in 1935 and 1982, the latter with architect Jerk Alton and artistic decoration by Sven-Bertil Svensson.

The church's name, Längbro, refers to a long bridge and connects to the area's past. Today it serves as a gathering place where the community marks important moments like baptisms, weddings, and funerals while keeping traditions alive.

The cemetery, consecrated on 2 October 1898, is laid out as a woodland burial ground with tall pines, rich birdlife and a clipped spruce hedge around its edge. A memorial grove was added in 1995. The church stands about 3 km west of central Örebro, near Karlslund Manor.

The two smaller galleries flanking the organ are named Eker and Ånsta after the two other parishes that, with Längbro, formed the parish in 1876. The blue ceiling above the nave is decorated with gold stars, a detail easily missed when looking at the chancel.
