St Lawrence’s Church, Eyam is a Grade II* listedparish church in the Church of England in Eyam, Derbyshire.

The church is medieval with elements from the 13th and 15th centuries. It was partially rebuilt in 1619. The church was restored in 1868–70 by George Edmund Street with the work started by Malland and Son of Bamford at a cost of £1337 (equivalent to £115,371 in 2015) for rebuilding the chancel and installing a new window. However, the work was much more involved than first estimated, as the chancel work uncovered the poor condition of the rest of the church and an additional £1,200 (equivalent to £103,549 in 2015) was needed. The contractor was changed to Dennett and Co of Nottingham, and the north aisle was rebuilt with five windows, and an additional aisle was added to the north side of the chancel. The galleries were removed, and the roof was re-leaded.

The south aisle and porch were rebuilt between 1882 and 1883 by Walker of Sheffield with the contractor being Hibbert of Baslow.

The church is in a joint parish with:

The church contains a pipe organ by Brindley and Foster dating fom 1879. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
