St Olave's, Silver Street was a church dedicated to St Olave (Norwegian Christian ally of the English king Ethelred II) on Silver Street [South side of Silver Street, Wood Street,Cheapside;north end of Noble Street p229 "Notes on Old London Churches" Pearce,C.W: London, C. Winthrop & Co, 1909] the City of London.

The first reference to it, in the 12th century, refers to a "St Olave de Mukewellestrate" [From its proximity to Monkwell Street p22 "Vanished churches of the City of London", Huelin,G: London, Guildhall Library Publications, 1996 ISBN 0900422424 ] . It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt ["A Dictionary of London" Harben,H: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1918] . It is now a garden ["The Old Churches of London" Cobb,G: London, Batsford, 1942] , at the end of Noble Street, and a nearby late 17th Century tablet marks the spot where it once stood [ "London:the City Churches” Pevsner,N/Bradley,S New Haven, Yale, 1998 ISBN 0300096550] , off London Wall, near the Museum of London.
