St Mildred, Poultry, was a parish church in the Cheap ward of the City of London dedicated to Anglo-Saxon Saint Mildred. It was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, and demolished in 1872. St Mildred in the Poultry was the burial place of the writer Thomas Tusser. Some description of the church and its monuments is given in John Stow's Survey of London. The church stood on the north side of Poultry at its junction with Mansion House Street. The first church can be traced back to 1175, in the reign of Henry II; by 1456 it had fallen into disrepair, and had to be taken down and rebuilt. The medieval building was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. A new church was completed in 1676 to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren, after which the parish was united with that of St Mary Colechurch, which was not rebuilt. The building was sold for £50,200 in 1871 under the Union of Benefices Act 1860, and demolished the following year. A City of London Corporation plaque now marks the site.
