Christ Church Deer Park is a parish of the Anglican Church of Canada in the Diocese of Toronto, Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. It is a broad church, but highly liturgical, congregation. CCDP is a member of the Churches on the Hill and hosts a popular Jazz Vespers (Evensong) programme.

The current Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, began his clerical career as assistant curate at the parish.

The parish began in Leaside as a chapel of ease of St. John's Church, York Mills, but soon moved its services to the schoolhouse at what is now Davisville Public School.
