St John the Baptist's Church, Mongewell, Grade II listed Anglican church in Mongewell, England.

The church structure includes a Norman chancel, ruined nave walls, and a slender west brick tower with a battlemented parapet at its summit.

The church underwent substantial remodeling during the late eighteenth century under the direction of Bishop Shute Barrington, followed by an 1880 restoration by Lewis Wyatt.

Two eighteenth-century monuments within the chancel include a notable sculptured tomb depicting a man in Eastern garments with a turban.

The church grounds require a 400-meter walk on a tarmac drive, with four steps leading down to the nave from the south porch entrance.

The structure combines a round lower section tower with an unusual hexagonal upper portion, standing near the east bank of the River Thames.
