St Lawrence Parish is one of the 57 parishes of Cumberland County, New South Wales, Australia, a cadastral unit for use on land titles.

Unlike the other three parishes, St Lawrence was not named after a New Testament saint but after St Lawrence, the second Bishop of Canterbury, successor to St Augustine of Canterbury, presumably very familiar to Bishop Broughton from his time in Canterbury.

Later, as it became more "tractarian" and Anglo-Catholic, the name of the parish was added to that of the church.

However, by then, St Lawrence was understood to refer to the only saint of that name in the Book of Common Prayer, St Lawrence, (in the Prayer Book, Archdeacon) of Rome, and St Laurence of Rome (now spelt with "u") has since been considered the patron saint of the church.
