Church End is a former hamlet in Bedfordshire, England, which is now part of Arlesey town.

Originally, Church End was a small rural settlement, named after St Peters Church which was built in the 12th century in the area by the monks of Waltham Abbey. However, the expansion of Arlesey northwards led to Church End being encompassed by the town. Today, Church End represents the northern part of Arlesey town, and is the location of Arlesey railway station.
