Christ Church Tower is a Gothic Revival church tower in Prince Albert Street, Crewe, Cheshire, England. It was built in 1877 for Christ Church parish church, and retained when much of the church was demolished in 1977. Within the shell of the former church there is now a memorial garden.[1]

The tower has a ring of ten bells, all cast by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon in 1912.[2] The tower is a Grade II listed building.[3]
