St Barnabas' Church is a redundant Anglican church in Sibell Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade IIlisted building. It was originally built as a mission church, financed from public subscription, to serve the workers living near Chester railway station.[1] The church and the adjacent curate's house were designed by John Douglas in 1877.[2]

The church is built in brick with stone dressings. The house is also in brick with a timber-framed front. Both have slated roofs. The church has a six-bay nave which is continuous with a one-bay chancel. There is a two-bay north transept with an attached eastern vestry, a west porch and an octagonal northwest baptistry. On the roof is a flèche surmounted by ball and cross. Between the church and the curate's house is a roofed lobby. From 1985 to 1987 the church was used by the Orthodox Christian parish of St Barbara's before the community moved due to the dilapidated state of the building.[3] The church has subsequently been used as offices.[1]
