All Saints' Church, Galle, Anglican church in Galle Fort, Sri Lanka.

The church features stone columns supporting timber arches, with large stained glass windows illuminating its cruciform interior layout through natural light.

The foundation stone was laid in 1868 by Bishop Claughton, with initial funding from Governor Sir Hercules Robinson and an English parish contribution.

The church interior displays a blend of architectural elements, including pews and sanctuary crafted from Burmese teak with Jewish Star of David carvings.

Located on Church Road within Galle Fort, the church building incorporates specific modifications in its Victorian Gothic Revival design for monsoon climate adaptation.

The altar stands on the former location of an 18th-century courthouse gallows, marking a transformation from judicial to religious purposes.

Architectural style: Gothic Revival
