St Olave's, Silver Street was a church dedicated to St Olave (Norwegian Christian ally of the English king Ethelred II) on Silver Street[1] the City of London.

The first reference to it, in the 12th century, refers to a "St Olave de Mukewellestrate"[2]. It was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt. It is now a garden, at the end of Noble Street, and a nearby late 17th Century tablet]] marks the spot where it once stood[3], off London Wall, near the Museum of London.
