The Sint-Gangulfuskerk is a Romanesque church building in the center of the Belgian-Limburg city of Sint-Truiden. The Roman Catholic parish church is dedicated to the 8th-century saint Gangulfus.
The Sint-Gangulfuskerk was built in the period 1055-82 under the direction of abbot Adelardus II of the abbey of Sint-Truiden. Until the end of the Ancien Régime, the abbots of Saint Trudo appointed the parish priests of the Saint Gangulfus Church. The nave of the 11th-century church is still preserved in the current church. The church probably replaced an older church building, a pillar of which has been recovered during restoration work. In 1133 the church became a parish church and around this time the choir, apse and transept were built. The transept arms were heavily rebuilt in the 16th century, the aisles in the 17th and 18th centuries. Around 1900 the church was cemented on the outside and plastered on the inside in neo-Romanesque style.
