The Steeple Church occupies the western part of the historic "City Churches" building in Dundee, Scotland. It is a congregation of the Church of Scotland.

The "City Churches" are located in the city centre, adjacent to the Overgate shopping centre. The building is unusual as having two congregations within the same structure – the other congregation (at the eastern end) is Dundee Parish Church (St Mary's). The middle building ceased functioning as a place of worship in the early 1990s.

The tower is currently operated by Dundee City Council's heritage department.

Ministers[]

The former minister (2000–2013) was the Rev. David M. Clark, who retired. The present minister (2014–) is the Rev. Robert Calvert.
