思杜堂,今名使徒堂,是位于江苏省苏州市古城内养育巷130号的一所老教堂。

1872年,美南长老会派遣杜步西牧师夫妇来苏州传道,在养育巷购地建教堂,1920年杜步西牧师去世后,杜步西太太及其子杜翰西再度来苏州继续工作,并翻建教堂,1925年新堂落成,为纪念杜步西牧师而命名“思杜堂”。该教堂占地1330平方米,建筑面积1016平方米。礼拜堂为砖木结构,2层楼房,坐东朝西,西南角为方形钟楼。楼上可容纳500人集会。当时信徒多数是在盘门种客田的江阴人。

1951年,中国大陆批判崇洋媚外思想,将思杜堂更名为使徒堂。1959年,中国基督教新教三自爱国教会实行“联合礼拜”,使徒堂又改称耶稣堂,它和乐群社会堂(今宫巷基督教堂)是苏州决定保留的2座教堂。1966年,文革开始,使徒堂被关闭,由苏州乳胶厂占用[1]

1980年4月6日复活节,使徒堂恢复礼拜,成为江苏省文化大革命后首先恢复开放的第一所教堂。目前有信徒约3000人。1991年,被列为苏州市文物保护单位。
