Saint Augustine's Prayer Book is an Anglo-Catholic devotional book published for members of the various Anglican churches in the United States and Canada by the Order of the Holy Cross, an Anglican monastic community.

The first edition, edited by Loren N. Gavitt, was published in 1947. The name of the book is a reference to St. Augustine of Hippo, the patron saint of the Order of the Holy Cross. Now in the eighteenth printing of the 1967 revised edition, it remains popular among High Church Anglicans in North America. It is used as a companion to the Book of Common Prayer (American editions of 1928 and 1979). In addition to various prayers and devotions, it includes the order of Mass according to the Anglican Missal, with the Prayer Book Canon of the Mass.

The 1947 original edition was republished in 1998 as Traditional St. Augustine's Prayer Book by Preservation Press of Swedesboro, NJ. It was subsequently republished with the same title by the Anglican Parishes Association, the publishing house of the Anglican Catholic Church. The revised 1967 edition was republished by the Anglican Parishes Association with the title of Saint Augustine's Prayer Book.^[1]

In 2014, a newly revised edition was published by Forward Movement, edited by David Cobb and Derek Olsen.^[2] Both the revised edition and the newly revised edition are sold by Holy Cross Monastery, of the Order of the Holy Cross.^[3]
