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]

Since 2019 the church is part of the High Weald Churches benefice of Penshurst, Chiddingstone, Fordcombe and Chiddingstone Causeway.

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