St Luke's is a Grade II* listed Church of England church in Chiddingstone Causeway, Kent.[1][2] It was built in 1897–1898 to a design by John Francis Bentley in a loosely Decorated Gothic Revival style, replacing a tin tabernacle (erected circa 1873).[1] According to Pevsner the church was financed by the Hill family and John Singer Sargent recommended Bentley to him.[1] It was the only Protestant church designed by Bentley.[1]

The altar window is the work of Wilfrid de Glehn.[3]
