St Olave was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London, England from 1855 to 1900.

It was formed by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 and was governed by the St Olave District Board of Works, which consisted of elected vestrymen.

Until 1889 the district was in the county of Surrey, but included in the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works.

It extended inland to cover London Bridge station, part of the approach tracks, and part of the site of Guy's Hospital.

The district comprised the following civil parishes[1] (area in 1881): In 1896 the parishes of Southwark St Olave and St Thomas were combined.
