Östra Eneby Church, Medieval church in Norrköping Municipality, Sweden.

Östra Eneby Church is a medieval church built of grey stone in Norrköping, with a white-rendered exterior and a tall tower on its left side. The tower has a pointed brown-tiled spire topped by a cupola and finial, with small arched openings and a narrow arched window below. The main body has a steep brown-tiled roof with a dormer gable and a smaller square roof section with a pyramidal cap. Arched windows with dark glazing and a dark doorway are visible, and a low wall with gravestones stands in front.

The church was built of grey stone in the 12th century, making it Norrköping's oldest preserved building. Brick vaults, a sacristy and a new choir were added in the late 1300s, and the porch followed in the 1400s. Russian troops burned the church in 1719, destroying the medieval altarpiece and wooden sculptures; the present tower was raised by mason Måns Månsson Lindgren in 1773–1775.

The church's medieval ceiling paintings were made by the Risinge Master around 1400 and restored in 1918 by C. L. Lundin. The sacristy was painted by his successor Nils Håkansson, known as the Vittskövle Master. A 1670s description by vicar Hemmingius records donor coats of arms in the choir, including that of the Bjälbo dynasty, still visible in one vault.

The church stands by the road in Östra Eneby, with a low wall and gravestones in front. The tower entrance is used; the former porch now holds pews. The churchyard is open to walk through, and the building is still an active parish church, so visits fit around services.

The church was burned by Russian troops in 1719, destroying the medieval altarpieces and wooden sculptures; parishioners had to use Kvillinge Church until Östra Eneby was restored and reopened in 1733. The silver that survived was then lost in three burglaries, in the 1730s, 1830 and 1843, the last taking the collection money too.
