This is a list of the former civil parishes in the ceremonial county of the City of London.

Since 1965 there have been no civil parishes in the City of London (it is secularly unparished).[1] The law created in the 19th century has been reinstated to London boroughs in the 21st century which allows the creation of civil parishes, but the 20th century prohibition of these continues to apply to the City of London.

The City of London formed a single civil parish from 1907, until it was abolished on 1 April 1965.[2]

List of parishes prior to 1907

The parishes abolished in 1907 (with the exception of the Inner and Middle Temples) were as follows (other parishes that existed previously but were amalgamated are noted):[3]
