St Michael's Church is a redundant church in the village of Cowthorpe, North Yorkshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
The church was built in 1456–58 for Sir Bryan Roucliffe , who was a lawyer and Baron of the Exchequer. He inherited the manor of Cowthorpe from his uncle, John Burgh. In 1456 Sir Bryan was granted permission by the Archbishop of York to build a new church to replace an old chapel near the River Nidd. It is thought that some of the sandstone blocks in this church came from the old chapel. The church was restored in the 19th century; this was a limited restoration and consisted of renewing some window tracery, and restoring the roof. St Michael's was declared redundant on 1 November 1975, and was vested in the Trust on 11 October 1977.
