St Luke is a historic Anglican church in London.

It was sited on Old Street, north of the City of London, and was built under the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches project. It was completed and the corresponding parish of St Luke's created in 1733.

The design is attributed to Nicholas Hawksmoor. The church became disused in the mid 20th century, and stood derelict for 40 years, despite being Grade I listed. It is now in use as a concert hall by the London Symphony Orchestra.
