St John the Evangelist's Church, Gressingham, Medieval parish church in Gressingham, England.

The church building features a three-stage west tower, nave with clerestory, north aisle, and chancel, constructed from sandstone rubble with stone slate roofs.

Dating from 1150, the church underwent significant changes in 1734 with the addition of the tower, followed by extensive restoration work in 1862 by Edward Graham Paley.

The interior contains eighteenth-century box pews, a 1714 pulpit with raised panels, and Morris & Co stained glass windows in the east wall and north aisle.

The Grade I listed building maintains its role as an active Anglican parish church within the deanery of Tunstall and the diocese of Blackburn.

A Norman doorway on the south side displays intricate chevron and ropework motifs, while an Anglo-Saxon carved stone remains embedded in the west wall.
