St Vincent Street Church

 



















St. Vincent Street Church is a Presbyterian church on St. Vincent Street in Glasgow, Scotland. It was designed by Alexander Thomson (also known as "Greek" Thomson) and built from 1857 to 1859 for the former United Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

It is a Category A listed building and is owned by Glasgow City Council.

In 1998 the building was listed in the 1998 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund, and again in 2004 and 2006. The Fund helped restore the tower, with support from American Express.

In March 2026, the Alexander Thomson Society opened a public consultation about the future of the church. The group's plan is to reopen it as a mixed spiritual and secular space.
