The Reglerkirche (also called St. Augustine's Church) is a church in the old town of Erfurt. It serves a Protestant community as a place of worship and is one of the larger churches in the old town. It was in the GDR as a center for church music in Erfurt.
The construction of the Romanesque church was begun in 1130 by the "regulated" Augustinian canons. The completion took place in 1238. The church originated from a Romanesque collegiate church, which was said to have been founded in 1117.
