St Nicholas' Church is the Anglican parish church serving the Parish of Floreat Park in the western suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. The church's consecration was in preparation for the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, which were based at the nearby Perry Lakes Stadium. The church's jarrah pews were donated by various Australian sporting organisations and bear their badges. Hence, St Nicholas' has been nicknamed 'The Sportsmen's Church'.
