St Andrew's Church, Dent, Medieval Anglican church in Dent, England.

The church exhibits a combination of Norman and English Gothic architecture with a rubble stone construction and cylindrical columns supporting six-bay arcades.

Founded in 1150, the church underwent major reconstructions in 1417, 1590, and 1787, followed by a restoration in 1889 by Paley, Austin and Paley.

The interior houses an octagonal oak pulpit from 1614, traditional box pews from the 17th century, and memorials dedicated to geologist Adam Sedgwick.

The Grade I listed building remains an active parish church within the Western Dales Mission Community, offering regular services and community gatherings.

The church floor features a distinctive black-and-white checkerboard pattern made from polished Dent Marble, reflecting local materials and craftsmanship.
