St Stephen Coleman Street was a parish church in the City of London, located at the corner of Coleman Street and Gresham Street, with origins traceable to the 12th century. Its medieval structure was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and subsequently rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in the Baroque style. This second church stood until 1940, when it was destroyed by bombing and never reconstructed. The parish maintained extensive records spanning from the 15th century onward, including churchwardens' accounts, registers, and the "Vellum Book," a property record from 1466. The church's name referenced St. Stephen, the Christian protomartyr, and its location in a historically Jewish quarter of London led the antiquary John Stow to misattribute synagogue use to the building.
