Cullen, St Mary's Collegiate Church, Medieval church in Cullen, Scotland.

The rectangular stone church features a cruciform plan with a south transept, an extended choir section, and a north transept added in 1792.

Built before 1236, the church received collegiate status in 1543 when the choir section expanded eastward to include six altars for the prebendaries.

The chancel contains an ornate tomb from 1554 of Alexander Ogilvie, displaying a canopied recess with an effigy and decorative Gothic architectural elements.

The church stands half a mile southwest of central Cullen, with access through minor roads leading to a parking area and a walled lane.

Queen Elizabeth de Burgh, wife of Robert the Bruce, was buried in this church on October 27, 1327, after her death at Cullen Castle.
