St Paul's Theological Centre (SPTC) is a British centre for theological learning, based at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in South Kensington, London. It is led by its Principal, Graham Tomlin.
SPTC runs theological courses for members of HTB and other churches. It is a constituent member of St Mellitus College.
The centre also trains ordinands for the Church of England as part of an innovative pilot project with Ridley Hall, a theological college in Cambridge, with permission granted by the Ministry Division of the Church of England. These students study part-time at SPTC, whilst continuing to work part-time in churches in London and the South East of England.
As of 2011, 400 people were studying at the centre annually.

To turn the venereal awl
In the livid wound of love.”
