Clune Park Church was a church in the town of Port Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in 1905 to serve the Clune Park Estate.[2] It was in use until 1997. Inverclyde Council had plans to regenerate the area, but the future of the church was uncertain for many years.[3] An application for demolition was submitted in 2024.[4] The church was a Category B listed building.[2] It will be demolished in April 2025 alongside the adjacent Clune Park Primary School.[5] On 3 May 2025, two workers were injured during its demolition.[6]
