St Paul’s Church is an Anglican church on St Paul's Square, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire England. The church opened in 1874 and was designed by the architects James M. Teale and Edmund Beckett Denison (later created Lord Grimthorpe). Later additions are by G. F. Bodley. Since 2005, St Paul’s has been part of a parish with St Aidan's, Shobnall. It is in the diocese of Lichfield.
Regular Sunday Masses are at 0800 (first Sunday of month) and 0930 (Solemn Mass). Weekday masses are on Tuesday at 0930 and Friday at 1230. The church is open most weekdays between 9 am and 2 pm.
A mission in Borough Road, Burton was opened in 1865 from Christ Church at the suggestion of Michael Thomas Bass. By 1872 the mission was known as St Paul's and in 1873, it was assigned an ecclesiastical district, created out of the parishes of Christ Church, Holy Trinity, and St Modwen's. A new church, St Paul’s, was opened in 1874 on a site soon known as St Paul's Square, with Michael Thomas Bass paying for the erection of the church and vicarage at a cost of £50,000 (equivalent to £4,186,459 in 2015). The church was consecrated on 7 April 1874 by the Bishop of Lichfield, George Augustus Selwyn.
