St. Alban's Church is a Church of England church at Churchillparken 11 in Copenhagen, beside the Kastellet citadel and the Gefion Fountain. It was built for Copenhagen's growing English congregation, which had met in rented rooms since 1834. After an appeal in 1864, Princess Alexandra helped raise funds and secured the site. The foundation stone was laid on September 19, 1885, and the church was consecrated on September 17, 1887.
Arthur Blomfield designed it in the Gothic Revival style, inspired by Early English Gothic. The materials are Faxe limestone, knapped flint from Stevns, Åland stone for the spire and Broseley roof tiles.
George Tinworth designed the terracotta altarpiece, pulpit and font for Doulton. The tower has fifteen tubular bells, played automatically since 2013.
