St. Mary's Church, Brighstone, Medieval parish church in Brighstone, Isle of Wight, England.

The stone structure of St. Mary's Church features a rectangular nave, a short tower, and a spire that was added in the seventeenth century.

Thomas Ken, Samuel Wilberforce, and George Moberly served as notable rectors of St. Mary's Church before continuing their ecclesiastical careers elsewhere.

The church hosts the Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival, displaying hundreds of decorated trees across multiple venues in the village.

The church contains eight bells cast by Whitechapel Bell Foundry, with six installed in 1961 and two additional ones in 2017.

A memorial stone in the churchyard commemorates George Albert Cairns VC, marking his connection to this Grade I listed building.
