St Andrew's Church is in Rollestone Road, Rollestone, Wiltshire, England. It is a redundant Anglican church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[1] It was declared redundant on 1 July 1993, and was vested in the Trust on 8 February 1995.[2] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[3]

St Andrew's was built in the early 13th century. It is constructed in flint and stone in a chequerwork pattern. The church has two large Perpendicular windows, and a font dating from the 13th century. The oak benches were brought from the redundant church of St Catherine’s at Haydon, Dorset in 1981.[1]
