Christ the King Church in Ostrzeszów is a Roman Catholic parish church in the city of Ostrzeszów, in Greater Poland Province. It belongs to the Ostrzeszów deanery. It is located on Zamkowa Street.
The temple was built as an Evangelical church in 1861. It was built in neo-gothic style by Evangelical community existing in the town. Church was built for 2 years. The building served Protestants for 84 years until January 1945. During the Second Republic of Poland the church was owned by the parish belonging to the superintendency of Ostrzeszow Evangelical Union Church.
After the church was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church, the choirs were reduced in size so that two side altars could be installed. A painting was placed in the chancel, and a pulpit-cum-ceiling on the left side. On the wall of the church is a plaque dedicated to St. Maximilian Kolbe, who was imprisoned in the city in 1939.
