Edvin Loach, also Edwin Loach, is a village in eastern Herefordshire, England, about four miles north of the town of Bromyard, and near the village of Edwin Ralph. It is part of the modern civil parish of Edvin Loach and Saltmarshe.

Edvin Loach is a historic exclave of Worcestershire in the hundred of Doddingtree. It was transferred to the jurisdiction of Herefordshire in 1893.

Old Church was built in the mid 1000s or later and was dedicated to St Giles. Later it was re-dedicated to St Mary.[1] A new St Mary's Church was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1860?, next to the ruins of the old Church.[2]
