The Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew, founded as St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, is a historic Episcopal congregation in New York City, New York. It is located at 520 Clinton Avenue, between Fulton Street and Atlantic Avenue in the Clinton Hill-Fort Greene area of Brooklyn.

St. Luke's was founded in 1841 following the failure of Trinity Church. The congregation eventually grew to be the largest in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.[2] It absorbed St. Matthew’s Church in 1943, and the Church of St. Michael and St. Mark in 1993.

The church was built in 1888 in the Romanesque Revival style.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
