All Saints Anglican Church, Darnley Island, Anglican church building on Darnley Island, Australia.

All Saints Anglican Church stands close to Badog Beach, constructed with local materials including burnt coral and basalt with a red corrugated roof.

The construction of the church occurred between 1919 and 1938, following the arrival of London Missionary Society members to the Torres Strait Islands in 1871.

The church serves as a central location for the annual Coming of the Light festival, marking the introduction of Christianity to Torres Strait Islander communities.

The church building spans 250 square meters with a central nave and side wings, protected by a stone seawall constructed in 1976.

Local leaders Manai, an Erub Islander, and Albert Ware, a South Sea Islander, supervised the construction of this heritage-listed religious structure.
