St Barnabas' Anglican Church is a historic Anglican church in Mount Eden, Auckland, New Zealand. Originally built in 1848 it was later moved to the current site. Subsequent expansions have significantly altered the church to where now the majority is brick with a small wooden nave of the original serving as the nave to it. It is registered as a category 2 building with Heritage New Zealand.
St Barnabs' Church was originally constructed in 1848 at Point Dunlop, east of Mechanics Bay. It was designed by Frederick Thatcher as one of the original Selwyn churches. In 1866 the nave was widened to the point of the transepts, it was also lengthened on one side.[1]
In 1877 the church was moved to the current site in Mount Eden. In 1903 a brick rebuild started, but never completely finished and the nave of the old church remains.[1]
