St. Botolph without Aldersgate (also known as St. Botolph's, Aldersgate) is a Church of England church in London dedicated to St. Botolph. It was built just outside Aldersgate, one of the gates on London's wall, in the City of London.

The church, located on Aldersgate Street, is of medieval origin. The church survived the Great Fire of London with only minor damage[1] but subsequently fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1788–91. The church is renowned for its beautiful interior and historic organ. It is used by the London City Presbyterian Church,[2] a congregation of the Free Church of Scotland.
