St Philip's Church, Grade I listed church in Barmouth, United Kingdom.

St Philip's Church stands at an elevation of 27.3 meters with a rubble-slate construction and features a lean-to loggia entrance at its exterior.

The church, completed in 1862 by architect John Louis Petit, remained unconsecrated until 1875 due to disputes over language services in Wales.

The construction of this religious building sparked discussions about linguistic rights, leading to the implementation of the English Services in Wales Act of 1873.

The church requires visitors to navigate a steep lane off the A496 road between Barmouth and Bontddu to reach its entrance.

The interior contains a three-bay nave with an open roof structure, large round-headed windows, and a marble reredos alongside an octagonal pulpit from 1899.
