Places of worship in Burnley
Burnley, in Lancashire, England, has a long history of religious worship, dating from at least before 1122 in the case of the Church of England.

Well before the Industrial Revolution, the town saw the emergence of many non-conformist churches and chapels. In 1891 the town was the location of the meeting which saw the creation of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland. In the late 19th century a Jewish synagogue was established, and in recent times evangelical and free churches have appeared, as well as a large purpose-built mosque.
