St Saviour's Church is a Church of England parish church in Eastbourne, East Sussex. The church is a grade II* listed building which was designed by G. E. Street.
St Saviour's Church was designed by George Edmund Street. On 17 October 1865, the foundation stone of the new church was laid. The main church building was built from 1865 to 1866, and its steeple was built from 1870 to 1872. The church was consecrated on 31 January 1867 by Ashurst Gilbert, the Bishop of Chichester. It is made from red brick with Bath stone dressings, and has a polychrome, clay tile roof. There were later additions to the church: a baptistry was added in 1892; a chapel was added to the south in 1903; and church room was built in 1954.
The church was originally dedicated as the Church of the Holy Saviour. In 1971, the neighbouring St Peter's Church was demolished and the two parishes were combined. The dedication of this church was changed to St Saviour and St Peter; it remains known simply as St Saviour's Church.
On 17 May 1971, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.
St Saviour's Church is in the parish of St. Saviour and St. Peter, Eastbourne in the Archdeaconry of Hastings of the Diocese of Chichester.
