The Church of St Paul, Shipley is a parish church in the town of Shipley, West Yorkshire, England. It is the only Anglican church in the benefice of Shipley St Paul. Prior to a church being built in the town, worshippers were expected to go to the Church of St Peter in Bradford. The church was opened in 1826, and consecrated in November of the same year. It is now a grade II listed structure. It was the only Anglican church in the town until a new parish of St Peter was created in 1910.
