St Michael's Church, Shirley is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England^[3]: 318 in Shirley, Derbyshire.

The church dates from the 14th century. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1842 by Henry Isaac Stevens and the pews were placed. It re-opened on 5 April 1842^[4] when all present were struck with the accuracy, simplicity and devotional effect of the singing by the parishioners of Shirley and Longford, who had been instructed for only a few months on the Wilhelm system, thereby proving its applicability to the improvement of congregational psalmody.^[5]

The foundation stone for the new tower of the church was laid on 8 September 1860 by Francis Wright of Osmaston Manor^[6] The designs were by Henry Isaac Stevens of Derby and the contractor was J.W. Thompson of Exeter Street, Derby.

On 27 January 1861, a number of the children in the church were overcome by fumes from the heating flue that passed under the floor.^[7] Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

The church is in a joint parish with

• All Saints' Church, Brailsford
• St James' Church, Edlaston
• St Martin's Church, Osmaston
• Holy Trinity Church, Yeaveley

A pipe organ was built by George Holdich and opened on 19 April 1857.^[8] A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.^[9]

The church tower contains 3 bells, one dating from ca. 1560 by Ralph II Heathcote, and two from 1688 by William Noone.^[10]
