St. Luke's Episcopal Church is a historic church on U.S. 7 in Lanesborough, Massachusetts. It is an early example of a stone Gothic Revival church, and only one of two surviving 19th century Gothic Revival church buildings in Berkshire County. It was built in 1836 for a parish whose history dates to 1767, and is one of the oldest Episcopal parishes in the state. At the time of its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, it retained virtually all of its interior 19th century fixtures, but had not been used as a church in some time,[2] the congregation having relocated to a Shingle-style wood frame church built in the town center in 1898.

The church was listed on the National Register in 1972.[1]
