St Giles-without-Cripplegate is an Anglican church in the City of London, located on Fore Street within the modern Barbican complex. When built it stood without (i.e. outside) the city wall, near the Cripplegate. It is one of the few medieval churches left in the City of London, having survived the Great Fire of 1666.

There had been a Saxon church on the site in the 11th century but by 1090 it had been replaced by a Norman one. In 1394 it was rebuilt in the perpendicular gothic style. The stone tower was added in 1682.

The church was badly damaged by fire on three occasions: in 1545, in 1897, and in the Blitz, during World War 2.
