Elgin, High Street, St Giles' Church Of Scotland, Category A listed church building on High Street in Elgin, Scotland.

The St Giles Church features a Greek Revival design with a six-columned Doric portico and a 112-foot tower at the east end.

The earliest records of St Giles Church date to 1224, while the present building replaced the original structure with construction starting in 1826.

The interior contains a circular pulpit supported by a Doric column, along with a gallery incorporating a Greek key-patterned parapet on three sides.
