Sandbank Parish Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Sandbank, Argyll, Scotland. Completed in 1868, it was designated a Category C listed building in 2007.[1] It stands on the A885 high road between Sandbank and Dunoon.[2]

According to Francis Hindes Groomes' Gazetteer of Scotland, the church was built as a chapel of ease. Its stained-glass windows were moved here from the congregational church in 1936.

Its congregation merged with that of Kirn Parish Church in 2017, becoming Kirn & Sandbank Parish Church, and its church building was put on the market.[3]
