Crux Vocal Ensemble is a choir based in Dublin, Ireland that performs ancient vocal and choral music, in particular chant and polyphony. Founded and directed by baritone singer Paul McGough, the group is involved in liturgical singing, concert performances and TV and screen appearances.

In 2013 Crux was commissioned by Noho design to create a recording of the Irish chant 'Laeta lux est Hodierna' for continuous playback at the new Interpretative Centre of King John's Castle, Limerick. The recording includes the Irish harpist Siobhán Armstrong. In 2017 Crux was commissioned to record two pieces of ancient Irish chant for the reception space of the newly-restored Clondalkin Round Tower, Dublin.

Since 2013, Crux has regularly featured in the hit TV series Vikings. In 2015, members of Crux were recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin for the soundtrack of Whit Stillman's Love and Friendship.

In 2016, Crux swelled its ranks to forty male voices for the Irish historical movie Pilgrimage, starring Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal. Composer Stephen McKeon recorded the soundtrack at RTE studios and Moonflower Studios, Wicklow which featured solo overtone singing techniques by Paul McGough.

Crux has performed at various festivals including the Galway Early Music Festival, Trim Festival of Masks, Dark Dublin and the Throckmorton Literary Festival, UK. To date, Crux has released only one CD album, entitled 'Christmas Spirit' (Christmas in Gregorian chant)

The ensemble sings regularly at St. Mary's Church, Haddington Road, Dublin 4, in particular the 9:30am mass on every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.
