St Barnabas' Church, Chester is in Sibell Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. The church was built as a mission church financed from public subscription to serve the workers living near Chester railway station.^[1] The church and the adjacent curate's house were built to a design by John Douglas in 1877.^[2]

The church is built in brick with stone dressings. The house is also in brick with a timber-framed front. Both have slated roofs. The church has a six-bay nave which is continuous with a one-bay chancel. There is a two-bay north transept with an attached eastern vestry, a west porch and an octagonal northwest baptistry. Between the church and the curate's house is a roofed lobby. The church is now redundant and has been used as offices.^[1]
