The '''Slayer's Slab''' is a title given to a [[medieval]] [[gravestone]] formerly in the graveyard of [[Lyminster]] church in [[West Sussex]], [[England]]. It has now been moved inside the church to protect it from weathering.
According to legend it is the gravestone of the dragonslayer who killed the [[Knucker]] who lived in the nearby knuckerhole.  The stone has a cross on it overlaying a [[herringbone pattern]], but no inscription to identify the tomb's occupant.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sussexarch.org.uk/saaf/dragon.html |title=Dragons & Serpents In Sussex |author=David Staveley |date= |work= |publisher=Sussex Archaeology.org |accessdate=28 December 2011}}</ref>
